Usually they are websites. That's kinda the whole point... Spotify's desktop app is the same as open.spotify.com, Discord's is the same as discord.com, VS Code's is the same as vscode.dev, Slack is the same as.. something. But yeah, instead of those companies all needing 5 separate engineering teams (Web, Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and you're joking if you think they'll make a Linux native app), they just make a website. You're welcome to use the websites instead of the desktop apps for any of those, though you'll lose some OS integration capability.
Slack isn't feature complete in their webapp if they even still have it. vscode.dev is new, the app existed for a long time. In practice, its the reverse; it allows you to turn an app into a website and add yet another supported platform.

This is terrifying, the wind is letting the fire jump huge gaps.
Why so?
because I tried your way and it was a big fail.
Just do a less-than-legal presale on BSC or ETH. Build reputation in the crypto trading market, join Telegram and find the trading groups. Don't try to find angel investors.
Not directly about a lightbulb, but I've learned that when you see something and think "why is it this way, that's stupid" its usually not. People don't make things "stupid" for no reason.

I've been to a few Psychologists, and two Psychiatrists.
I asked the first one about his fee. I went in not knowing. I had this horrid anxiety that just wouldn't go away. He says, "pay me what you think I'm worth."
I was in such angony, but did't want to piss this guy off. He had a good reputation. He offered no medication, and had this rediculious theory my anxiety was post traumatic syndrome from the '88 earthquake.
Anyway ge told me his fee was $450.00. I paid it and left.
I saw a Phd. Psychologist I found in the yellow pages. I talked and talked. I cried, and cried. Nothing was stopping the daily anxiety.
I ended up finding a Psychiatrist who didn't rape me on price. He put me on two very addictive drugs, and I've been on them decades. The mandatory appointments are tedious. I get absolutely nothing out of them. I've been on the same dose, so I think i'm just addicted, and any perceived pharmaceutical help is placebo.
Anyway--unless you hear voices (really bad voices that are bothering you greatly I added that tidbit about voices because they found schizophrenics do better long term without meds), or ready to commit suicide; I would stay away from the entire profession.
Oh yea, in your twenties and thirties, they are rough decades. If you don't bust a gasket consider yourself lucky.
If I had a do over, I don't think I would have ever seeked help. It's kinda a joke. It's definitely an art.
Same here, I would have never paid if insurance didn't cover it. I also realized a lot of my problems were due to being young and I think I would have gotten over it all anyway.

It's not just about pay. Even if it was 100% affordable there's a shortage of mental health workers compared to demand. See the NYT Article from a few days ago [1]. The solution we have right now couldn't scale.
I'm not saying that an app, or technology in general, can fix everything, but surely we can drum up some sort of support tool that doesn't leave people high and dry, and doesn't rely on an impossible scaling up of a limited supply of skilled professionals doing 1:1 therapy. I'm not saying you can ever replace 1:1 therapy or even in-person therapy, because I don't think that's how we've evolved to need care, but I know that there is research to support that meta-level awareness of your own mental health is an important step.
There's (probably) not a silver bullet tech solution out there, and I think it's frankly a minefield and a losing battle for most startups, but definitely for investor-backed startups. I think this space really needs open standards and privacy-first solution that keeps people in charge of their own data, while also giving better tools to the experts who are out there now, and enables at least a minimal level of several options for therapy (self-led, group, facilitated, etc) for the varying levels of need, to free up 1:1 sessions for those in the greatest need rather than just the highest bidder as capitalism often favors.

My concern is these apps will make the situation worse, I don't buy the argument of "something needs to be done so lets just do the easiest thing"
It isn't? I use it daily and haven't noticed anything missing, except that voice calls don't work on Firefox, which is fine, because I never use them.
