An App Museum
An App Museum
Feels like we’re at an app apex. Paid apps are on the decline if not entirely passé. App discovery is painful if not broken. Anything mildly successful ends up purchased by Apple/Google/FB/Other or shut down due to lack of sustained traction. We fear the demise of those still ingering.
Given this, now is as good a time as any to look back and consider the apps that got us here. The ones that created new categories. The ones which invented a UI device which is now the norm. If there were an app museum, these are the one’s I’d nominate.
