AppStories

Filling the App Gap

Listen Later

This week on AppStories, John and Federico cover Apple’s executive transition, follow up on OpenAI’s super app, and share the apps they’re looking for and give each other suggestions on how to fill their app gaps.

On AppStories+, we round up the tools we’ve built for ourselves that fill gaps, for which we haven’t found apps.

Also available on YouTube here.
