What are some apps on the Atmosphere that you’d want to see built that would benefit you as a healthcare worker or scientist?

Guys... GUYS, listen. I am begging you all to think bigger! The Atmosphere may be a fun space to explore how familiar services and apps interact—but it's still just social media. The protocol enables us to change behaviors and solve *systemic* problems It's the thing that gets us TO the thing.

Why are people talking about an everything app? Also what do you mean by everything? Because the real everything app is the mobile OS. Do we mean a handful of social/information modalities + payments? I mean that’s cool if the ux makes sense and better than separate apps. It’s not “everything”.

the universal app is technocratic & soulless without the contextual/communal/artistic apps where the actual socializing happens & all those apps are confusing & overwhelming without the universal app to bind them together idk curious your thoughts?

"The fundamental asymmetry is that apps can be general-purpose or purpose-specific, but the *thing you are doing* is never general, it is always a concrete thing."

Apps used to be exciting and now I hate every one of them

also, I kinda feel like calling the things that consume atproto data "apps" does a disservice to understanding what they are / how they work / what their potential is. But that is a partially-formed hot take I can't fully defend yet.
