If

I
am
talki g
about

fo
slightly
diffe e t

The
idea
is
ge ui ely
cleve .
HiLight
uses
LEDs
a ou d
the
came a

to
p ovide
visual
feedback
without
equi i g
you
to

at

You
ca
assig

to

co tacts,
so
whe
someo e
f om
you

list

the

ca

tell

The e
is

The
p oblem
is
that
this
is
p etty
much
whe e
HiLight
stops
ight
ow.
A d
that
feels
like
a
letdow .
I
u de sta d
the
philosophy
behi d
it.
The
e ti e
idea
is
to
help
you
stay
p ese t
without
co sta tly
looki g
at
you
sc ee .
But
if
Google
is
se ious
about
that
idea,
HiLight
eeds
to
become
much
mo e
deeply
i teg ated
i to
A d oid.
I
wa t
