We that's bleak. Get pumped for a surge in "Download our desktop app for the full experience"!
Rather than spending our limited resources giving guiding technical feedback to proposals we fundamentally oppose, I would rather see us putting effort into satisfying the target user stories with a less catastrophic proposal. A bunch of senior engineering has chimed in here, but I would love to know that this is being surfaced to upper leadership. Thanks for keeping us all apprised, Botond.
