It feels like every few months there's a new tech "revolution" being hyped up as the future. Besides AI, what’s the most overhyped trend in tech right now? For me, it’s the constant buzz around the metaverse.

Mobile apps. They have so much money and users and it still feels like there isn't as many cool mobile apps as there are cool computer program.

Mobile apps often feel like a web browser with the URL bar.

It’s totally possible to make cool mobile apps, but most of the ones you see are just a big company porting their website.

I know but I expected there to be more cool apps and less shit ones. I'm disappointed by what mobiles have become.
