I don't see how this competes with partiful. Feels like it'll be another half baked never updated app from apple. I wish they'd open their apis and integrations more. Feels silly that these apps get first class access to apple apis, meanwhile better made apps are forced to do weird workarounds, or simply have no integrations.

It’s based on the new GroupKit API, which sounds like something that would be available to other apps in the future. Otherwise it would just use some private API.

You're being disingenuous, or you're incompetent, if you think Apple isn't going to keep this API in their closed garden.

It’s not the first time that a new API is used in a first party app and then opened to all developers.

I thought because of the EU they have to make these private APIs public?
