Yep, you can see this at work in covid response. All of the features mentioned can seamlessly handle id, payment, and even grabbing your national ID card or sending SMS confirmations. So if you click a "buy masks!" or "get consultation!" button, you do so knowing it will be fast.
Exactly! It’s beautiful. And honestly not *that* hard to replicate for other (chat) platforms if they cared.
It's not a matter of the tech; it's a matter of having the patience and conviction to grow an ecosystem in a sustainable way over multiple years and carefully balance the value proposition for devs, businesses, users until it works out. That's what's lacking now.
You mean a long-term strategy with cohesive objectives and multi-year projects to quietly build out a useful service? Oh no, that sounds boring!
