I have an idea about why Apple is doing this, but my key takeaway is that they should really read the room and sort out their QA (Spotlight is broken in the latest Sequoia) and platform strategy (the iPad is still gimped) instead of spending engineering resources in another Clips-like fiasco.

I guarantee the pool of people who really care about those issues/are affected by them is tiny. For example, I use my MacBook daily and haven't noticed any Spotlight issues. I have an iPad too - what's wrong with it? This is coming from someone who works in tech, the average Joe isn't gonna care.

I for one am happy to see an app like this. Currently the only way to get my friends together is through a group chat, and it's always a mess.

You should see what the app actually _does_, which is fairly useless. I would describe it, but Michael Tsai already did it for me: https://mjtsai.com/blog/2025/02/04/apple-invites/
