 ## Project goals
 
-The goal of the project is to create a beautiful and extensible experience for command-line interface users, built on open web standards. In the beginning, our focus will be primarily around speed, stability and the development of the correct API for extension authors.
+The goal of the project is to create a beautiful and customizable experience for command-line interface users, built on open web standards. We have picked up where Vercel left off, and intend to first offer stability, followed by a more tailored experience. We will still support customizability, but stability of theming APIs is not a goal.
 
 In the future, we anticipate the community will come up with innovative additions to enhance what could be the simplest, most powerful and well-tested interface for productivity.
