If you're hearing about the lack of app support on the Duo and wagging your finger at the makers of your favorite app…
+ Duo is a complicated device—many poses & core UI changes.
+ Developers had 3 weeks before press units went out
+ Likely <1% were able to test on real devices
+ Expect many app updates to land before you get your device
+ Long term, it'll take time for new patterns to emerge
Lastly, app makers don't get any of the $2K+ you paid for this device and most won't make any additional $ off this work. So instead of wagging your finger, consider a hug.
Zero data isn't just a customer perk, it's really for me.
We've normalized optimizing all the joy out of our businesses. One way to push back is to not put that weapon in your hand and instead collect no data. Turns out it's also been great for business as it better aligns our focus with the things we're actually good and deliver the most value which is building fun, new shit.
Can't recommend it enough. If you're living in dashboards, this is a glass of ice water in hell.
Honored I was asked to judge the inaugural Mobbin Awards App of the Year.
Congrats to Tolan, Family, Arc, Open, Suno, Headspace for their achievements in pushing app design.
