Tools, not apps.
- Tools, not apps.[ty]
- "App" is different from an application.
- An application is possibly general-purpose, and stores its data in the filesystem.
- An app is a single-use bit of software, with its data model welded shut inside of itself.
- Its own little pocket universe.
- This makes apps safe to install but also fundamentally limited in how they can interoperate.
- Apps are fixed, single use, little islands.
- Even if you could generate apps on demand, it still wouldn't fix the problems of the app model.
