I love the idea of the atmosphere, but looking at all the apps on @sifa.id, I still dont "get it". At least, I dont get those apps, anyway. All I feel are solutions-looking-for-problems vibes. Would love to feel differently, though.

Does that mean that you dó get Sifa? 😅

Have to say, I am not sure. I've seen people say it is LinkedIn for the atmosphere - and I'm not really seeing that. Maybe it is a future thing that you are planning, not yet implemented?

Ugh, all these atmosphere apps are great and all, but they feel developer-designed. There is no story being presented. Why should I care about you? (Not sifa specifically, just any of those apps.)

Tangled is cool (although not functionally mature enough for me, last time I looked) and I can see a use-case for that. But things like leaflet really do not inspire me as a user, at all. And I dont feel any attempt *to* inspire me in that direction, either. Maybe I am just too Gen X?

And if you want the perfect example of developer-driven good-concept-bad-implementation, look at standard.site. It's like the very early days of Linux, where you had to hack scripts and config files. But this is really a judgement on the whole ecosystem, not sifa.

I think it's also good to realize that most of these apps are < 1 year old Most of the platforms that we are used to and/or these are competing with are over 10, sometimes over 20 years old, so there are bound to be some rough edges still
