Love the slot machine mechanic of pulling to refresh [0] [1] [2].
Over the years it's grown to become quite satisfying.
Mmm.. dopamine.

Is this going to be open-source? I'm confused about why I'd want or need to create an account.

Agree that it happens, and think this case is different.
There is a running joke within Google that the best way to get promoted is to create another chat or video conferencing app.
Is it really a joke at this point, though?
Googler engineering leaders and teams engaging in the replacement of good chat tech with worse happens every year or two. All to demonstrate "cross-org impact" and climb the promo ladder. This is in fact the driving force behind many of the complaints mentioned in the article.
A sad and systemic failure, indeed.
