what’s the difference between an everything app and a super app

We’re so close though.. DoorDash just needs to launch a Robinhood competitor where you invest while waiting for food 😂

They're the same in that neither of them work in the US. :)

Something that does everything probably isn't super and something that's super will probably not do everything.

Even Wechat doesn’t do everything. Especially if you’re a foreigner, you can’t link a non-Chinese bank (as of my last CN trip Sep 2023)

Wechatt feels like an everything app from outside looking in.

don’t think ‘everything app’ actually exists. because an app by default can’t do everything

the mental image the names place in my head

Not a fan of apps that do unrelated things, usually feels cluttered because when I come for one thing, the other is a distraction. I’ve even seen payment apps with games in them. 😓

Super apps for me are the former, everything apps are the latter.

To me, it’s the triggers in my mind that take me there. 

Some delivery apps do this well going from food delivery to groceries and then generic pick ups. I think delivery in general and open that one app now. Swiggy in India is one example.
