Home Assistant renamed "add-ons" to "apps" recently.
Whyyyyyyyyyy? It's so frustrating that they are still moving stuff around like this.
Guides, documentation, and videos all point at add-ons - and have done for years - so unless you have a _really good reason_, don't change it!
@fishidwardrobe @vague @ironicbadger my intention was to copy the grammatical style and noticeable detachment from the point which was made in the post before.
That seems to have worked. Not on who I had hoped it would work, but it seems to have worked nonetheless.
@fishidwardrobe @vague @ironicbadger that being said: thank you for taking the trouble of writing this reply.
I do agree with your point about the tone of the message. It was necessary to stay in that character for that specific message
But, as is the problem online, in text the cues get lost and people don't know each other so there's almost zero context beyond the written word
In hindsight, maybe it was futile and wrong to take this approach of trying to show @vague how his post came across
@vague I’ve done literally hundreds of tutorials on all sorts of topics.
YouTube, for example, does not let you edit a video once it is live. They are immutable. So all YouTube tutorials are arguably out of date and dangerous the moment they are live. So we should all stop watching them right? Right?!
These things have been called add-ons for almost a decade at this point. It’s a totally pointless name change that is going to cause people confusion for no reason whatsoever. Seriously, what’s the upside?
Why isn’t apps returned as a result when searching for add-ons? That might help usability as well.
