      Second, the correct way to understand the success (or failure) of your platform is by user-time spent in apps built on it.

      ...but there's some good news, and that news is that the web's distribution model is _killer_: http://venturebeat.com/2015/09/25/wait-what-mobile-browser-traffic-is-2x-bigger-than-app-traffic-and-growing-faster/ …

      But that fact does not change the reality that the web is in crisis. Actual, real, serious crisis.

      I've avoided being direct about this in talks and presentations so as not to scare folks, but perhaps that's the wrong tack.

      It is appropriate to be freaked out about this.

      The implications of this are that precious objections to what/how someone builds on the web don't matter; it's *that* they build for the web

      This is, of course, a too-coarse-to-capture-any-let-alone-every situation first-pass analysis; but at a first pass, it'll do.

      But in 2016, if you think you're playing for Team Web, and you haven't tried to internalize the "losing mobile" thing, you're fucking up.

          Have you considered writing a blog post about this? The idea is clear but extra context may bring higher impact.

          and even more ironically worrying, we're using web technologies to build those apps that compete with the web

          Well, we're using web tech to build apps that compete w/ the browser. And as goes the browser, so goes the open web.
