Introducing Meta App
Aug

2011
Everyone has an app for me to download and use on my phone – the electric company, the grocery store, etc.
If I installed every app that was offered to me, I’d have hundreds and hundreds of apps. It would be a pain to organize them and find what I wanted quickly.
I have a solution for this problem, and I think it’s going to be a killer app. I call it the Meta App.
What it’s going to be is one app that can display a variety of information and handle a variety of tasks. The user would simply type the name of the company or service into the app-finder field, and the Meta App would call up the code from the target and serve it to the user.
Of course, to make things easier for everyone, the Meta App would use a common programming language so that apps would behave the same across the board (and across mobile phone platforms). Maybe I’d call it SGML, for Some Guy’s Markup Language…
Don’t you think Meta App would be much better than so many individual apps?
What’s that you say? A browser? No, I don’t know what you’re talking about. That does sound useful though. Why don’t more companies take advantage of this “browser” rather than developing their own apps?
who formerly was useless to you, but now is useful both to you and to me.

Coding a website to work properly in IE as well as competent browsers is a little like making an app for a mobile device, right?

Right, although I do see more and more web designers that are just ignoring IE and updating their FAQ to inform people that they should use something else.
I’m sure HTML5 will fix all the browser incompatibility problems.
