AndreasThinks @andreasthinks.me · 23hSo America.gov is out, and it's making me a bit reflective... More than a year ago, the then Secretary of State for Peter Kyle launched the GOV.UK app. It included a digital driving license and damn good AI chat. Now? Somehow, nobody knows about it. It has fewer than 500 reviews. Sigh. 111
