It's *shocking* there aren't more groundbreaking smartphone apps. We've got powerful computers w/ significant local storage & constant access to the web, 2 high-res cameras & tons of real-time data, all easy to develop for, in a truly hungry early-stage investment environmenthttps://twitter.com/bill_easterly/status/1152683781410574336 …

I feel this What are some ways to exercise the imagination muscles?
This feels like saying all a desktop pc can do is browse Facebook... People *can* do CAD there but most don’t. Do you have anything in mind? I can think of many interesting uses (both existing and potential) but they’re mostly niche, except maybe AR. Few pervasive like maps.

Too hard to make a business out of it? With the expectation of apps being free, lack of free trials until very recently, heavy App Store cut, more profit in exploiting people via IAPs, etc
What's the solution to this, do you think? Some ideas: * Teach programming in primary/high school (con: pays off in 5+ years) * Philanthropic ventures bringing coding to developing economies (con: could be another Playpump madness) * ?
