Build Features Not Apps
The document emphasizes the importance of building features rather than apps, noting that most users download few apps monthly and many apps lose users quickly. It discusses advancements in speech recognition, the impact of user engagement features like stickers in messaging apps, and strategies for developing cross-platform applications using frameworks and activity protocols. Additionally, it outlines implementation details for iOS user activities and restoring user states in application flows.
