You have no idea how much I needed this newsletter today. As I've continued to develop my coding skills, it's been tempting to figure out how to turn my web apps into something downloadable from a person's phone. It feels like it's a natural progression, right? However, your blog post today reminded me, "Why would I want to create something that would keep someone on their phone more than necessary?"

I'm with you on the appreciation for phones helping us directionally-challenged folks. I can't imagine how many wandering hours my GPS and maps app have saved me over the years. Of course, I don't have as many funny getting lost stories to share either. So it evens out I suppose.
