Contrarian thought: The most successful companies in the next 15 years will be API based, there will be few companies that own the UI and the ones that do will utilize API based tech to provide the services needed to power the few successfully dominating UIs.

There’s too many UIs. Each UI has its own learning curve. So many products have carved out niche experiences and they continue to want to own the UI to essentially do niche API manipulation or API interfacing.

Once a company has a dominate UI and API services they can tap to deliver comparable experiences with their UI, these niche products that try to own the UI will never see mass adoption.

Thus the winning tech will be the ones who let go of wanting to own the UI and instead deliver services via API to support the winning UIs. Fewer but, more powerful UIs powered by more API support services.

Okay I get you now. Thanks. Here are my thoughts: 1. What are some concrete examples of a single UI being used for a bunch of apis. What are some big apis besides stripe? 2. Are UIs sticky enough to really determine user behavior. We can learn the new locations of buttons

3. For some UIs there’s no up protection. Google and Excel both have a spreadsheet UI. UIs don’t seem as determinant of success as I think you’re suggesting?
