i'm using more new apps than ever before, but having fewer app experiences that spark joy

software as content feels soulless - unsure if this will change

commoditization

just look at e.g. furniture, almost everyone gets soulless ikea (mass-produced, cheap materials), some get taylor-made cheap material stuff, some get mass-produced quality-material stuff, very few get taylor-made quality material stuff

fortune cookie casts, memes, parenting, building mini apps, /framedl, /framedl-pro & /calmer

hmmm imo having a high bar for yourself and good taste are not mutually exclusive

imo it's not taste that's rare, it's the active defiance against low quality stuff

when you know people are satisfied with less, it gets really tempting to just do less
when you know you get the dopamine from a shitty video feed, it's really tempting to just sit there and watch

people with great taste can be victims of both directions

software always trended in this direction - i don't think it's a bad thing

just kinda shows you how rare taste actually is
