I’m fascinated by this phenomenon of apps proposing solutions that are far worse than the previous existing solutions.

For example:

1. Parking apps are worse than parking meters.

2. Tinder is worse than IRL speed dating.

3. Duolingo is worse than language classes.

4. Airline apps that are worse than just printing a boarding pass.

5. Etc

It really makes me frustrated as someone who builds software and generally thinks it improves the world…
