Abstracts to articles I probably won't write.

Apps are clubs mistaken for businesses, to the dismay of their users and investors alike.
Sellers of chat apps promote them as company-wide communication tools. Companies adopt them for fear of being perceived as old-fashioned. Employees without secretarial or clerical skills at those companies are left to figure out how to use them, virtually always sub-optimally.
Let's get rid of follower counts on socials. Online platforms that advertise follower counts incentivize growing an audience over all else. The business models of these platforms tacitly rely on users equating a high follower count with attributes like quality, integrity, and trustworthiness, even though that's not often the case with a metric so easily manipulated. Platforms should ditch follower counts and the veiled suggestions that come along with them, or society should regulate entities with big enough audiences like they were broadcasters.
Epaper tablets are good for reading. Oberon is a heavily text-driven system, without being a Unix-like command line, and it's all about making cool stuff happen when you activate special text as commands. Responsive epaper tablets like Daylight should run Oberon System and use the stylus to select and activate text commands.
There is a reason people keep making idiosyncratic versions of todo apps, Writeroom clones, personal knowledge bases, static site generators, and so on. Authors of those projects try to position them as products for others to use instead of wondering what about computing makes it so that other people can't just as easily make their own versions.
