MORE FILES PLEASE

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Files are powerful because they serve as a universal medium of data exchange between applications. They liberate your data, allowing it to be accessed and manipulated by any app. This is in contrast to "app first" organization, where data is often trapped within specific applications in their private databases. While modern documents might function like folders filled with links, genuine files offer greater interoperability and protect against being locked into a single software provider.
