Or just use Fossil. It's already a distributed alternative to github. Every fossil install includes a built in web server with bug tracking and a wiki.
Most of the comments here seem to think this is designed to track a perp in your house. My assumption is that it's for people who want to check if the gas was left on or spy on their pet.

As a teacher, just having some kids using a TI-84 and some using a TI-89 is a headache. If I don't have a consistent set, I constantly have to stop and give two sets of instructions to account for minor UI differences. There's no way I could deal with everyone having different ones.
It's completely rude to send a browser notification prompt without prior warning. The solution to this is html notification prompts that only trigger the browser notification prompt when the user clicks on them. They aren't as intrusive. That's what I use on my wordpress site.
In terms of rational actor theory, it just means you have preferences and you try to achieve optimal results using all the data available to you. It doesn't matter if your preferences seem irrational or are not apparent to others as long as they are consistent.
People don't dump houses when the market drops. Few people sell their house when they're underwater. People tend to live in them until prices come back up. Prices don't drop. Demand drops.

In the same way that GPS is a boon to people too lazy to learn celestial navigation or read a paper map.
In the same way that word processors are a boon to people too lazy to use a typewriter and white-out.
In the same way that supermarkets are a boon to people too lazy to hunt and gather their own food.
In the same way that synthesizers are a boon to people too lazy to hire a 40-piece orchestra.
In the same way that power drills are a boon to people too lazy to use a hand crank.
