@sensiblemadman Oh FANCY! I like that. But Instapaper now does this dumb thing for me where I try to paginate, and it cuts off like the last third of the article? — PolitiTweet.org

Wrote about Notion, and why becoming a global company is harder than it looks. And sometimes involves changing your product roadmap — which is why things like mobile, offline, and APIs are more important than ever https://t.co/fSn7Bvv6oc — PolitiTweet.org

@rsencion @verge Well that's very nice of you, and this is all true! And I'm also hopeful that web apps are part of the answer – but it seems to me that after a decade-plus of betting on native apps, that'll take time to unwind. I don't think Apple ever thought it'd be this powerful, though — PolitiTweet.org

@rsencion That metaphor works if you only have one friend (or two, maybe, but your other friend doesn't have any friends who pay for stuff), this is the only way you can sell things, and your entire business is predicated on your ability to sell things to these friends — PolitiTweet.org

So many Apple policies suck for developers but don’t make THAT much difference to users, so Apple gets away with it. But “you can’t participate in the future of games” feels like a reason people might not buy iPhones — PolitiTweet.org
