I opened an architecture proposal to rename Home Assistant "add-ons" to "apps"; and it's sparked quite the discussion. In this vlog, I explain why this seemingly small change actually matters for newcomers, why "add-ons" creates confusion, and what's happening in the community debate. What do you think? Apps, add-ons, or something else? Let me know in the comments! Filmed on my way to GitHub Universe 2025 ✈️ Key points: - Why new users get confused between add-ons and integrations - How "apps" creates a clearer mental model - Zero functional changes, just better naming - Community alternatives being discussed 🔔 Enjoyed the video?
