Is there any reason to believe this?
I always assumed the issue for most apps is getting a critical mass of users in the first place / offering something people want to keep using is the first and foremost challenge.
Maybe after that ease of use matters, maybe ...
- ranger_danger 1y agoIs that actually an "issue"? Most of the time when I talk to FOSS developers and say things like "if you do X, you will get a lot more users", their response is usually "popularity is not a project goal." I feel like there's probably a reason that it should be, due to some unintentional positive side-effects, but I'm not clever enough to come up with any convincing reasons to tell them they're "wrong."
- duxup 1y agoOh I'm sure that's the case for some software, but I assume the quote only applies to folks who do in fact want lots of users of their app.
