Think about this a the pitch you'd make to a VC for a new product: "you know that thing you have to do over and over and over that doesn't really help you, but you feel guilty about not doing? What if you didn't have to do that any more?" <punchline>

But that's the thing. My android device updates every night and I don't do a single thing.

Anyway. I'm just saying we can't just say that everything is killing the web because we're slow. We need offer more reasons why the web is better for users (less so developers)

Which device is that? On what network? How much free space do you have? C'mon mate, you *know* you aren't the median or P75 (let alone P90+) user.

And again, sorry you two... but speed is only one axis and is largely for the *current users using the web on their phones of which there are statistically very few*. Our ecosystem is dying, fast or not.

That's on browser (/cc
@__apf__@alexainslie) for failing to make app discovery A Thing (TM) in their product. What we can do from the platform side is to make the world safe for a time when they get there. And we're doing it! Again, nothing in platform is a one-turn game.2 replies 1 retweet 2 likes
Platform work is about creating opportunities. While we wait for Godot's Browser, we can still make progress for users by giving them better "lite" apps in the surfaces that *will* help them find good experiences.
