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!
@ironicbadger sorry but this comes across as "old man yelling at cloud." It was a small change that better describes what they are. Move on.
BTW. Love the new podcast!
@mcsurl I am older than I was, it’s true.
I think my frustration comes from essentially someone else reorganizing my stuff when I get no say in it - and no I don’t always read the release notes in microscopic detail either.
Ya know this issue isn’t exactly the most important thing in the world. But it did cost me 2-3 mins of cognitive dissonance last night when installing a simple, routine add-on (which they have been called for 7+ years at least btw).
I’m not actually mad, you understand. But I do think the HA devs need to start treating certain things as essentially immutable given the age of the project and its importance in people’s lives.
