I don’t think abundance vs speed is the right lens. No user actually wants abundance. They use few programs and would benwfit if those programs were optimized.

Established apps could be optimized to the hilt.
But they seldom are.
- pydry 1y ago>No user actually wants abundance. No, all users just want the few programs which they themselves need. The market is not one user, though. It's all of them.
- skydhash 1y agoBut each vendor only develop a few software and generally supports only three platforms -/+ one. It’s so damning when I see projects reaching out for electron, when they only support macOS and Windows. And software like Slack has no excuse for being this slow on anything other than latest gen cpu and 1gb internet connection.
- pydry 1y agoslack is shit along all sorts of dimensions (not just speed and bloat) because you're not the customer.
- bluGill 1y agoUsers only want 5% of the features of the few programs they use. However everyone has a different list of features and a different list of programs. And so to get a market you need all the features on all the programs.
- infogulch 1y ago> They use few programs Yes but it's a different 'few programs' than 99% of all other users, so we're back to square one.
