The thing is I want to know about these fun new games. I feel like discovery is the actual problem.

If I had a random app installed on my home screen every day and I could say "more like this" or "this is horrible" I think it'd be cool. But it would have to be passive.




Been expected app discovery to be a solved problem since the acquisition... since the Chomp founders left Apple recently, I would love to hear what happened.


What do you mean by it would have to be passive? It would come up with a new app everyday but you would still have to indicate if you liked the app or not.

Actually I can't believe there aren't already a billion apps doing this - you could make a fucking fortune selling access to your app, compared with the ever growing data on what kinds of apps do well.


I don't want to think about the app install process. If I mess with an app, I'd like to register whether I liked it or not.


That's a pretty good idea — iTunes radio for games. Too bad Apple has to be the one to do it.
