To me it feels of a piece with the MP3’s (organize my folders) => iTunes (manage my local collection for me) => Spotify (manage local/remote for me) spectrum. As a platform that generally requires manual curation of local storage, apps feel line a major productivity regression.

On the other hand, for people with a lot of "hard-offline" situations, the ability to "set up" for offline is important, and automatic management works less good for that situation. I think the web needs a "Keep/Install" mode for that situation.

The web’s usual solution for protecting against eviction is auto-syncing app logic, which is necessary for collaborative editing anyway (and which is ofc also in the web’s wheelhouse).

I took wycats to mean e.g. going on plane with kindle-ish app and definitely want these exact books.
