User blog comment:FishTank/How Portability Works for You/@comment-173.8.54.238-20160218025453

Application, or app, portability is going to be essential to future "ease of use" and "user friendliness" going forward; not only fow Wiki, but for all apps that are used. Think of it like this:  You google your new friends' house on your laptop for the party you were invited to, get directions on your phone, walk to your car, start it and the gps maps your directions. Without doing anything but step one. (googling the directions).

Portability means totally cross-platform app communications. Kinda like the guys that created BSD Unix were thinking. Huh. (Granted, oversimplified, but trying to express the gist of it...)
