I actually prefer apps because I don't have to wait for each page to load, initialize, see the UI shifting a 100 times. If I had to open webpages for things I use regularly, that would drive me insane. Maybe that says something about web dev standards
I've enjoyed consuming information about interested research papers on instagram, and insta has been good at showing me more of such content. But I think a dedicated platform would be great too! It takes such scientific content creators lots of time to create a script, hook, include animations or other visual aids and also put the research in perspective with it's potential implications in the long terms. I am not sure if AI would be able to do a good job (yet).
My $0.02 try creating an AI powered science channel on YT or insta before spending time on creating a dedicated app.
I like selfcontrolapp.com , been using it for a long time. There's no (straightforward) way to remove the block with this one, and it works on all the browsers.
You give a compelling argument. If the same strategy was being executed by someone else, I'd even consider giving it a thought. Heck, if the president was executing this independently, I'd still give him the benefit of doubt. But I don't trust Elon with what you're suggesting. He has nefarious motives.
I have similar feeing for Gmail (it's effective anti spam engine), google maps and google docs (which pioneered shared docs. It feels outdated on many fronts now, but it was a pioneer).
Will call you old fashioned for that. I recently went to a restaurant with a large group of friends and they used toast tab for online ordering. The experience was much better than ordering in person. Each family was able to order and pay for themselves. We could add extra items to our order whenever we wanted.
Without the app I would've had to keep an eye for a roaming waiter, call them out and then place an order. This takes away from the dining experience. I also don't like to wait for the server to clear plates, take the card, swipe it and get it back. The old fashioned ways will disappear for good.
Anyone who's worked in "creative" field and has stepped in an art gallery would tell you that it's very normal to play on emotions, exaggerate and make viewers feel intense emotions. I don't know who the apology is meant for.
From what I remember, they put a toilet in a clean white empty room, and flushed some ink. Then they looked how far the ink spots splattered. But don't quote me on this.
