    Well this one is odd only because for end users it’s kind of seamlessly moved to the Health Connect service. The issue here is the new thing has a shittier dev experience and less features.

    This all stems from how internally they only reward new products and not features or maintenance on existing products. So entire teams just spin up copies of existing products instead of working on a V2 overhaul in-place

      I’m so tired of it happening that I avoid investing time and data into Google products now. YouTube Music is worse than Google (Play) Music, Gmail is worse than Inbox, YouTube Music is worse than Google Podcasts… The list goes on.
