		jordanlev on April 17, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Dropbox acquires Hackpad (YC W12) I agree with you that their core value is a better user experience. In my mind, offering their own apps is actually the natural continuation of this core value -- since the underlying storage is just a commodity, they can differentiate by having really well-designed apps that sit on top of it.

Or have well designed apps that sit on top of something else, the constraint is unnecessary and I argue a net negative.
