Do apps really bring that much value to the social network experience? I know for myself I have not found a single Facebook app that brings any positive value to my life.
- acdha 9y agoA lot of people like using them as a login system. Maybe WebAuthn will help with that since it’s a valid use but most people didn’t see what else they were agreeing to. The other thing I’ve seen a lot of people use are notifications / invites. e.g. most big gaming communities are bad experiences but you can bootstrap your friends into a better group. That seems harder to change and it’s definitely a real need.
