Tell me if I'm crazy: Apple wants notification center widgets to display information, not to be interactive apps you access via swiping down.

- drcoopster 12y agoYou're not crazy.
- api 12y agoYes, that's likely the rationale. This is the counter argument to the freedom argument: good, consistent design and UX seems to require totalitarianism. Otherwise you get a confusing hodge podge of junk. I'm starting to see this whole area as a major 21st century problem in computing. How do we have freedom, security, and good UX at the same time?
- bluehex 12y agoI don't understand why, if that's what they really want, they would choose to expose APIs that allow arbitrary interaction with the widgets.
- yawaramin 12y agoThen why not just say so? Why the runaround? I guess because they can.
