New hardware device categories are hard to get started.

  • New hardware device categories are hard to get started.
    • One reason is because they have to be their own viable islands.
    • They have to store state and that state and the UX on top of it has to be so valuable that it's worth it for the user to do the work to store it.
      • Then, to have the hardware device physically at hand with them to use it!
    • If the device were mainly an input or output device for the user's data wherever it lived, it would make the bar much easier to clear.
