Thinking a lot lately about product & UX approaches to interoperability. Seems like there's a pretty big gap in *product* thought & literature on what is the value flow in interoperable applications. Am I imagining?

That's true for FC as well. E.g:

Is the protocol a separate product with its own UX\product flow? The answer for FC is no. I.e, there are many apps that *leverage* the protocol, but no "protocol product". Eg for an app that does that is a marketplace of apps that use FC where user can switch between

@dwr.eth makes sense?

afaik, FC protocol facilitates interactions btwn ppl via blockchain, and enables other apps to tailor experiences with those interactions. E.g, Twitter like experience.

The protocol itself, though, isn't treated as a product (w UX, flow, etc) beyond dev experience. Only the apps on top of it are. I think this is a gap

I'm looking for UX\product of the FC protocol. The gap is that I don't see it.

What would I expect? An "Apps" button that allows me to see the different apps, so I can seamlessly enjoy their value on my FC feed (i.e, on the interactions I create with ppl on the protocol). 

nm. I'll write something more structured.
