Consistent capitalisation of menu items

I tend to capitalise my menus like this:

Title of My Menu

• Item one
• Item two
• Do something >

But I notice a lot of apps do this:

Title of My Menu

• Item One
• Item Two
• Do Something >

Either way would be fine with me, but having them both annoys me a bit.

Can we maybe "officially" decide on a standard? I'm thinking that could mean

• Accept PRs that fix existing texts to conform to the standard
• Don't complain about new texts: we don't want to bother (new) contributors with stuff like this
• (Maybe) Do complain about PRs that change existing text so it no longer conforms
• (Maybe) Mention it somewhere as being the "preferred" style (but in no way mandatory)

Sounds like a good idea to get something consistent - and we can stick it in the README.md file and maybe if we have a tutorial on menus, stick it in there?

Personally I like the second option more and I think it makes it easier to see at a glance. But what do others think?

I prefer the first option, as that keeps a nice distinction between header and content

Title of My Menu

Item one
Item two
Do something >

I second the above comment.

While we're on this topic, it would be very nice to somehow establish a standard for some other things:

• side button as "back" instead of "confirm"
• standardized haptic feedback
• usage of screen-edge buttons as opposed to buttons near the bottom of the screen (easier to hit)

Obviously these things wouldn't be required, just suggested. The Bangle.js platform as a whole could use a slight brushing up when it comes to UX practices.
