## Distinctive position

- **Screen-light by design.** Daily Doodle is built to end in a printer, not in scroll. There will never be a Daily Doodle app.
- **No ads to kids. Ever.** No upgrade tier, no in-app purchases, no profile of your child.
- **Sourced facts only.** Every fact cites two reputable sources (museums, universities, peer-reviewed work). Real photographs, not AI-generated animals.
- **One-click unsubscribe.** No friction, no survey, no login.
