Since the start of February, Rewind seems to have had 3 PRs merged for macOS (they auto deploy on new commits to main for both iOS TestFlight and macOS) and it’s had known bugs that have been around for months so I’m not holding my breath. Hopefully it’s at least updated for new macOS releases but I’m expecting an announcement in the future saying it won’t be supported anymore or it just not getting any updates for a year.
"As another side note, the idea of a UI that changes every time you open the site/app is, frankly, ridiculous."
That's what we have now, already. GenUI would be the opposite, where if you wanted, the UI could never change and it would stay the same if thats what you want.
Totally agree the concept of apps will break down.
Websites have spent the last 20 years removing user customizable functionality (think RSS feeds and making API private). While the tech may be possible, I don't see this being a reality without a major reversal in app development philosophies.
Companies want to control what you see so they can control their revenue. Why would they want to expose their data and utility to UIs where they have limited ability to monetize?
Technically possible now, I suppose. If you're Google and have the analytics, you could make a standard site layout and munge every site into that format based on usage data. Neat idea.
