Hello! Congratulations! You have found the new hiding place of the REAL Spire project. From now on, as impractical as this may sound, I would prefer we use THIS WIKI as the source of the project since it is easier for me to edit, though it is displaying some bullets and other things wrong.

Thanks! Here is the latest update (NAMES WERE SWITCHED AROUND ALONG WITH SOME OTHER STUFF):

SPIRIAN BIBLE

16/2-10W (Alpha 0.0.1) WARNING: ALL CONTENT SUBJECT TO CONSTANT CHANGE

Bracketed items also mean that content will change soon.

/ =+=+= S P I R E ® =+=+=
Company motto: “Achieve Higher™” and/or “Simply Genius™” and/or “Let’s Do Stuff™"

The Spire icon also means the “I” of innovation (and means “king” in Chinese too)!

COMPANY GOAL: [To incorporate innovation in everyone’s lives by developing software and hardware for people to use]

~ ~ ~ S P I R E ™* ~ ~ ~ [Still might be called “Spirian Outlaw, or at least another feature will be…] App motto: "Your Past, Present And Future All In One™” The universal app for iPhone, Android and web browser.

The app icon is a yellow “I” in a circle separated into orange and red quarters, with a brown background.
The lighter version of the app [Spire Lite?]’s icon is the lower bottom of the normal Spire icon with a dot up top instead, which is blue and pink.

APP GOAL: [To get all of the things in our lives done. Really, really fast. Spire systems eliminate the use of other task managing apps/paper agendas and puts them all in one place so that your tasks and schedule work with everyone in your life!]

HOME SCREEN BASICS (on iPhone/Android/browser):

GraphCal™: the revolutionary calendar UI of the future. Your device will signal you when an event is minutes ahead, so you don’t need to check every time.
GraphShare™: Share your schedule with friends instantly. You can choose whether to show specifically what your up to at a specific point in time (“Naked”) or choose just to show "busy" at that point in time (“Personal”).
EventTabs™: filter your events shown on your screen with EventTabs and find new tabs from Spire or other websites (with pages containing calendar events) in the TabStore™ to add to your list to organize events you want to attend in the future. Tabs that are from apps will show up as the actual app icon, and webpages will appear either as the webpage icon or plain text. Your profile icon in the bottom left hand corner of the screen (the main tab) shows all of your important events, system events and more if you want it to show everything you need in your future (or past). This tab stays fixated on the screen no matter how far sideways you scroll the tabs.
HoloGrams™: the light-textured events that glow in the future on your graph. Holograms are inserted based on your interests and other data Spire has collected about you. You can hold down a hologram to stick it to your graph and let the app know you will be attending that event. This feature gets better and more accurate the more you use Spire.
Websites that have isolated calendar events on their own will have the ability to all show up on your graph through a customizable tab (or TabStore).
To access your past (with your FB and Twitter posts/events), you would simply need to put in a pin each time you open your past without having to individually log into your separate apps. (Your apps would already be logged in; using a pin is just a source of extra data protection).
Graph background colors are set between black and white. White (sky/sun) means you are showing events over a period of work while black (outer space/stars) means you are showing events over a period of play. Don’t think it’s the other way around like it’s day and night; it’s the opposite!
The current time shows up as a flat checkerboard line that blinks with two textures (between neon green and normal green).

GETTING AROUND:

Swipe left or right on the calendar pane (in "week" form) to show the rest of the details of your events instead of having to manually tap it and see a separate box (which you can still do to see event descriptions and other event information).
Drag the right side of the screen quickly to view the "ribbon", which shows you a part of the future along with the today and tomorrow column (in “week” form).
The today column is always static on the screen, so you can scroll to the future or past and still see today.
Weekdays are permanently color coded: S = black. M = red. T = green. W = yellow. TH = blue. F = purple. SA = white. These colors show up in event details as well. Sometimes you will only see just colors to describe events (say you are seeing a lot of events on some page at once; you will see a line of colors instead of letters and numbers to give you a preview on when the event is).
Instead of scrolling, put your thumb atop the SMTWTFS bar, or “the weekday scroller”, and slide it at a certain speed to scroll through specific far-away dates instantly. Pull your thumb all the way to the ends to rapidly scroll through months and years. It will show you "April, May, 2015, 2016" etc in the background so you know where your scrolling. To return to this week (in “week” form) swipe left and right simultaneously on the SMTWTFS bar or double tap your today column.
When having the Spire tab on, (and ALL of your other tabs selected), you will have an extremely cluttered graph (almost to the point of not being able to see your most important events)! To help with viewing your graph like this, simply hold down your picture/Main Tab until you see a slide bar and then slide it left or right to overlap the mishmash of events to help select a specific one you need to see. Or you can go to the Spire menu and press [All Events This Day] to view everything going on on the selected day on one super column that spans the entire width of your screen displaying the events that are almost “weekday” sized.
The graph would show the same color for today beyond 12am of the next day, since you may choose to go to sleep at 2am (for TODAY, NOT tomorrow. To see the actual time for tomorrow, you would go into settings and select "show 24 hours" to see BOTH today past tomorrow's 12am AND beyond 12am of tomorrow itself).
While on the menu, you can scroll down with flicks instead of having to scroll-drag with.
On mobile, in the menu, the items take up half the screen; the other half is for descriptions of each item. (Also, for the company's convenience, surveys will sometimes show up here at the bottom).
Since there is so small space on the calendar events displayed on the graph, there will be an option to have the event names "tick" (show one word then the next a second after in the same space as the previous word) so you don't have to always click the event to see the whole name/description. [unless you want it to show the event text vertically if the event block is long enough).

KEY HOME SCREEN & SYSTEM FUNCTIONS:

AppAbducter™: the system would "abduct" your Google, Facebook, and any other app events onto the your graph instantaneously (but it would ask for your permission first).
HeadLights™: the app knows you! Since you will be putting EVERY task and event on your graph, the app knows your habits and can know your next move! When it is time to do that daunting time consuming daily task again that can mess up your cramped schedule, the app will automatically shift around nearby events/tasks as best as it can so you have enough time to do that one enjoying task, such as working on a research paper. This feature can help you manage your time to maximize daily production so you don't have to! (It will warn you when it changed something by notifying you. Once you open the app again, it will temporarily show you your OLD setup and then MOVE the events around live so you can see what it altered. You can choose to "keep" the changes or simply press “undo/leave”).
LifeLog™: to access your personal past events and app posts from friends, simply swipe to yesterday and beyond and type in your pin at the bottom of the screen as prompted (to see more than just your work stuff). Here you can access content such as Facebook status updates and tweets live on your own graph! tap an event/post to see details and even like/retweet posts live without having to open another application!
In LifeLog you can insert small squares on each day to write a memo or draw a picture. You can then press the [memo] tab filter in your past to view all of your memos! (And going into 'month' view will show all of them in lattice form!). You can even make the squares public or share them with contacts!
Chamfers™: the corners of each event on the graph that signify a specific type of event (eg. Diagonal = work related, and round = play related). For personal events, you can use customized chamfers if you want a specific event to stick out on your graph.
SpireEd™: the system teaching assistant that is always available in the menu that you can refer to if you are having trouble with a feature on the UI. Turning this feature on will display an "( i )” next to buttons and labels that have specific functions you might not know about.
GraphLearn™*: a special education feature that would look at all of your [canvas] assignments and organize when (and even how) to do them, down to the nuts and bolts of the assignment!
The app would blur the start/end lines on an event that has no planned start/end times and just a general time region (such as “Friday from around end of the morning to mid afternoon”).
Selecting an event on your graph from an email, for example, will display information about it along with a hyperlink to the email/website affiliated with the date on your graph (tap the event to see the details; the hyperlink is located at the bottom).
There is no such thing as "white space"! You are always going to be doing something in the future; so you are always going to see something on non-busy places on your graph (such as HoloGrams, assignments or suggested tasks provided by Spire)!
Profile pictures are these 5x5 squares that you can mold and sculpt edges and corners to your liking. You can even make a picture collage. This is also the icon you will see in the bottom left hand corner of your screen (the main calendar-options button/Main Tab).
Tasks and reminders are shown in a different part of the menu (or above your graph by swiping down on the search bar*). Here you can simply check off or drag and drop a task onto your graph to give it a time.
You can also sync your current reminders from the Reminders app, for example, with the system using AppAbductor.
Other third party apps or companies can advertise events in your future (or wherever there is free time on your graph) via HoloGrams, which can lead to profit.
Spire uses a state of the art security system taking advantage of encryption techniques and other features.
The app is going to change a lot years down. That’s why there is a "switch between versions layout" button in settings so you can view even the most recent updates in a previous, slightly altered older layout that has the look and feel of an older version you were used to (and still works like the latest release).
Shadows: the block of time left behind when you move/delete an event from its original spot on the graph. The shadow stays for 24 hours so if you want to move the event back to its original time, it's possible. There is even a tab that lets you view JUST your Shadows!
TaskExplosion™: the micromanagement feature that lets you drag and drop a group of events onto an isolated graph (separate and clean from your normal graph) and rearrange them specifically so can put it back onto your normal graph with ease! This feature is excellent for dealing with a large amount of tasks in a small amount of time. Instead of letting Spire organize them (when possible, or if it can’t at all), you can do it manually.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS / AMENITIES & DESIGN:

The loading icon, usually found in a corner of the screen, is a 2x2 square that has a spinning square. For info that takes longer to load, a square showing “static TV” within a 8x8 square (same size as the 2x2 square) will be displayed. For saving, it can use the same 8x8 “static” square or show a hard drive disk icon that is moving the arm.
There will be an optional background picture that defines your mood and/or uses themes such as seasons. You can choose to decorate your background with as many decorations as you like. Ranging from icons, to colors, to textures, to sports, the background possibilities are endless.
Uses a funny/humorous English dialogue system text (can be changed back to “default voice*” in settings).
You can choose to turn on a special tab that displays whenever a room of a building is open or when an office is free.
There are 3 types of fonts used: a mathematically even system font (with diagonals and no curves), a perfectly circular font (normal text in menus), and retro 1920's font (for main/large text). The lines and UI are also 1920’s textured (you can change the system theme in settings).
The whole app is also alien themed when it comes to system mascots; so expect to see icons relating to UFOs and space what not.
Messages and other notifications show system boxes with a pixel-blur effect instead of a fade-away.
The system uses exact square increments to show graphics on the screen such as the tabs and menu bar. (The screen ratio would be approximately, for example, 6x11 if using a smartphone.)
A "quote of the day” greets you upon logging in/loading the app.
GraphAttack(TM) if your schedule is not going according to plan or you have severely messed up your graph events, you suffer from this!

~ ~ ~ S P I R E _ S O C I E T Y ™ ~ ~ ~ (or Spire Radon; there are a bunch of names in mind) The overlaying OS for iPhone, Android and the Spire device lineup. It does everything in Spirian Outlaw and a ton more!

SYSTEM FUNCTIONS:

The Anti-Virus icon is the SB logo (you’ll see it later).
You would hold iPhone upside-down upon startup to startup the Spire OS.
The lock screen shows the "today" graph with limited info instead of always having to rely on a digital clock. Once you unlock your device, the limited today column will display all of your personal and work information (if you leave the calendar app open before locking it, that is).
Once you login to your device after start up, it gathers all of your personal/extra info from the server for you to use the Spire OS. Or you can chose to start the OS in an offline mode and still see important info on Outlaw, for example, and use basic apps until you opt to login.
You would be able to access graph information from pretty much EVERYWHERE!!! Outlaw, notification center, task manager, you name it! Even on the [task bar/dock] will be ThumbTabs™ of this week that use small, simple icons that describe an event going on on a day instead of seeing event information.
ThrashPool™: the app to view notes, text messages, or just about anything text related in a single shot! In the Pool tab, content boxes bleed through each other and you can select/search for a text document (just like in GraphCal) and it tells you stuff about it and what app it's in. There is a default tab for “notes”, for example, already in this app (since it's technically the notes app). ThrashPool is also the search tool for the entire OS.
Spire would even show you system update times in a tab on your graph and even system update/error history info in the past for your convenience and troubleshooting.
To see the app menu, [click the home button] for it to drop down. Your most frequently used apps are shown bigger at the bottom of the screen and fly backwards (like the Star Wars story intro effect) into smaller icons, representing the apps you use less.
DigiFijj™: A fidget app that you play with and press random buttons to relieve stress. When you open it up each time, you'll see something new to play with.
______™: the web browser that uses your history as the tabs! By tapping “new stream” in the corner of the app, you can have multiple streams of tabs to simply click and go back a page without the use of a “back“ button. You can also go into its settings and use just the “back” button if you don’t want to see your recent history in the streams. A stream might look like this: “[ Google search this > Wikipedia > Apple cinnamon pancakes > ]”. You can also use the webpage icons instead of the link name so conserve space on your streams.
For games, the system would be affiliated with Nintendo related apps and games that you could download from the store.
There will be a theme section in the app store where you can download display themes (even themes that look like a previous version of the OS) (similar to a bullet mentioned above).
SpireFly™: the communication app where you can [text your friends]. (Or the App Store?)
[SpireFly] also has an onboard "halt" button while typing a message to let your active friend(s) know you are still typing.
ForceFeed (TM): app that has flash cards and study materials that "force feeds" you information at a certain paces so that you learn it efficiently?

UNSURE FUNCTIONS (require more research/not developed entirely):

In "month" form, view the calendar in normal weeks and days. .
An essay formatting app that writes the essay, and you just put in the information/draft!
a special orange processing box that can be hooked up alongside your desktop for extra processing power

___________

Again, means that this function has an uncertain name or function.

As always, more updates soon to come…
