Totally agreed about that. It's called the Principle of Least Surprise for a reason. Users don't want to learn your software, they just want to achieve their goal in an easy way. Inertia and convention guide all that.

Guess it depends on your target audience, the best app is the one that your users want to use (or have to use if you're into that kind of thing).
I wish the video had some specific walkthroughs of using multiple large features in a super app, like the super app version of their example of opening 4+ apps to get a friends coffee. Is it faster / more seamless? I don't doubt that it is or could be, I just haven't used any of the super apps.
Feels like a vim vs emacs situation. I love vim, it's fast and has all the text editing tools I need, but emacs ships with an irc client and tetris which is dope.
Modern American app and web design is surprisingly meh. The ideal is nice (responsive to various screen sizes, accessible) , but most sites fail all over the place (I've never worked with anyone who knows accessibility well, myself included). Plus, there is so much dead, empty space on desktop sites. Not sure that hyper cluttered would be good for new users or my ADHD, but I can see the appeal.
Good luck with your project! Mind if I ask what it is?
but, I too, only like 1 joke :(
POV you're my therapist literally yesterday but I'm def still a Lil cis egg
Speaking of egg, I'm a little surprised we don't have an egg_irl comm. Is this community OK for egg posting?
Exactly! Blockchain and PoW are terrible but id really like to know how much time and electricity is consumed to serve ads, cool servers, train and educate people to effectively become ad engineers.
This comment feels like a Poes Law situation.. surely this is a bit, right?
The basic idea is to keep data as close to the processor as possible, so with a database that means storing the result of commonly used queries in memory.
There's no need to migrate the database, that shouldn't be an issue at this size. Caching should be implemented as another comment suggested.
That's so interesting! Thanks so much for all the context and screenshots.
That does seem appealing, especially with the alternative being to Google for details and hope the reviews you find are legit/not bought.
It's really interesting that they aren't trying to make both the end user and subapp company pay to interact, that's refreshing.
I wrote out a whole thing/rant about how providing core services to the people and market all seem like a no brainer, but it got a bit convoluted. Long story short, this all looks pretty interesting, I'll definitely check it out more.
Last thing, having ads you opt in to see, that are worth looking for, seems so nice. Everything is an ad now, where it's google or any other generic product review site. It's exhausting having to determine if any info you find online is legit enough to be useful.
