I totally think that slate star codex blog post I read is a document, even though there is an app-like comment function I don't use. And I totally think Wikipedia is a bunch of documents, even though there is an app-like edit functionality that I rarely access. And I totally think Google is a service for (among other things) looking up recipes, which I think are documents, even though they sometimes have an app-like button to re-calculate serving size.
On the flipside, I think Whatsapp Web is an app and not a document, even though I know that it's implemented in what was traditionally a document framework.
- divan 4y agoWikipedia is definitely a good example of interlinked documents, indeed. Blog is probably too (editing blog is entirely different process, though, and needs an app — you wouldn’t call Adobe Acrobat “a document” ) What I’m trying to say that it’s hard to draw the line between documents and apps if all you have is a tabbed document viewer and you forced to build apps on a document typesetting engine.
