seems to show the current state, which is a heavy lift for most people.
- bowsamic 1y agoYeah a YouTube video on HyperCard made me realise that Apple just doesn’t care anymore and honestly neither do people, but I honestly think it is brainwashing. If you let people make their own apps then how do you serve them ads and take the 30% revenue cut?
- WillAdams 1y agoThat's an excellent point, that enabling app development by users reduces the monetization potential --- but maybe it's something which would work for opensource? I'd be very glad to see a platform for the Raspberry Pi (and similar devices) which would simultaneously be simple and easy for folks to access and use _and_ create the kind of sophisticated user interfaces folks are now accustomed to/expect to use for even basic tasks.
