If it works, kill it. - Lemmy.World

Rule of Google: if it works, kill it. I know, I know, using Google apps isn’t the best, but this was a perfectly good Podcast app with all the features you might want. Apparently they’re moving everything over to YouTube Music, where a lot of the features of Google Podcasts aren’t implemented yet. I’ve moved over to an app from F-Droid.

I don’t really understand how they consistently manage to screw things up. And they always say that the features are coming, but they never do.

I’m still bitter over Inbox.

I used to be excited about new things from Google. Tried to get into every beta, downloaded the newest released apps etc. But not anymore.

I just read about tasks being removed from Google Keep. Then the feature removal from nest hubs. Do they have a unified strategy at all? Or is it just the whims of a manager’s daily musings that drive what development does?

Man, Inbox was so good. I still start typing “inbox” into the address bar to get to my emails.
