Assuming you’ve built your app for the express intent of world domination via hordes of ensaled users, aka community members whom you’ve formed lifelong meaningful bonds, and our now the center of their universe, it can be hard to envision how light weight integration works.

But its a broken model to be trying to build out more monolithic apps, the failure rate is high, the return is largely low, and the world doesn’t need more of them.

So we aren’t seeing this integration becasue people are building the wrong kinds of apps, and even when they aren’t building the wrong types of apps, their imagination is all wrong.
