A super app is just a platform that has a certain core functionality but also allows for mini apps to be built inside, so users can have extra capacities in one space. What makes it easy is a single sign-on, so users don’t need to keep entering login or credit card details.
I don’t trust it, David! It’s the whole Lord of the Rings vibe – “one app to rule them all”, which famously didn’t work out great for Middle-earth. A lot of people have concerns, myself included. It’s why there was a backlash to Meta – which provides Facebook and WhatsApp – trying to launch a digital currency. I think there’s a broader issue of digital literacy here: when we give up our permissions to a super app, do we really know what we’re agreeing to?So a super app will know a lot about you, especially your payment habits.
So when the app breaks - everything goes offline? That sounds like the dumbest idea ever. Whoever came up with this, needs to rethink their career path. This is stupid.
And the point of that is?
