Except nowhere have you explained anything about me being wrong. You ignore the obvious and tangible UX benefits that come with a unified UI platform. Maybe once you get a bit more development experience under your belt you'll be able to understand what I'm trying to explain to you.

    I've explained repeatedly why you

    a) don't need a super app to do that, you can build applications with interfaces that unify other applications in whatever way you want, as long as those applications have published APIs, and

    b) why we already have unified UI platforms (operating systems & web browsers)

    All you have done is blindly defend super apps, while ignoring the point that they are fundamentally closed platforms designed to extract money from consumers.

    And I've explained to you repeatedly that nobody cares about what you personally want. What's being discussed is what's a better UX, which is obviously having a single unified UI backed by APIs. I've also explained to you deficiencies in the current UI platforms, but you evidently are unable to grasp these problems.

    Nope, but keep repeating that since you don't actually have a sound argument to make.

    Bruh, you've explained jack shit beyond saying 'but it's obviously nicer when apps integrate with each other', and you haven't once approached explaining why a super app is the architecture necessary to achieve that when we used to have it all the time before walled gardens.

    Perhaps work on your reading comprehension if you have trouble understanding what's being said to you.

    LMFAO, such engagement, such explanation.

    You're really living up to the .ml domain.

    Keep promoting one corporation having control over all application interactions. Such a glorious future we can all look forward to under the watchful gaze of the CCP / advertising companies.

    Indeed, you're utterly unable to engage with what's being said and bleat about see see pee being the dimwit that you are. You can't even comprehend the fact that if apps were designed as API first then it could be done using open source model because you lack cognitive capacity to carry this discussion.

    You're trying too hard man, after about 2 rounds it became obvious that China way =good, 'Murica way=bad and that's the bottom line.

    Quite welcome, I'm sure the great worker's uprising will come one day and we shall all be forced to use the glorious app known as WeChat.

    Incredible how somebody could have such low intellect to utterly lack the capacity to separate the architecture from a specific app. I guess some people just lack the cognitive capacity needed to generalize concepts.

    Lmao, rich coming from you after I already explained why the architecture is inherently, and fundamentally about controlling all interactions, not about seamless UX which can be achieved with other architectures.

    Lmao, rich coming from you after I repeatedly explained to you that it's absolutely not the case. In fact, this architecture can be implemented within a UI toolkit provided by the OS. The apps have to use the toolkit API to make a GUI, and the toolkit can expose this API as JSON for anyone to interact with. Your utter lack of understanding of the subject you're attempting to debate is showing. Maybe once you get a bit of programming experience under your belt, then you'll be able to talk about these things in a meaningful fashion.
