My brain and how I interact with apps totally 100% agrees with this. When you understand it, it's a better model.

But I do worry that the micro app concept is supremely confusing to *most* people. I worry if we only start with micro apps then we'll never capture the "normies".

I think there is a chance a meta-like app is important to initially capture those users, allow them to build up a social graph with something familiar, then introduce them micro apps. If you're a normie who first tries nostr with a micro app, the lightbulb moment is potentially less likely.
