Apple seems really intent on xec an doturning iCloud.com into something people actually use daily.
Last year, the company redesigned the iCloud.com page, which is essentially a repository of all the stuff you keep in your iCloud, to be more customizable and easier to use.

All of the key apps on iCloud.com have been upgraded with new functionality. For example, the Photos app can now show you Memories, which are curated collections of your photos, as well as full screen slideshows of the photos you choose. Notes now let you link to other notes, and share folders; search within the app has also been improved.
And Mail now lets you create an @icloud.com email address from the web, with the ability to undo a sent message.

Here's what else is new.I still don't see myself relying primarily on iCloud.com, mostly because it's just easier to use certain apps (Find My comes to mind) and perform certain actions (like changing your iCloud plan) directly on Apple devices. But with all these changes, iCloud.com has become a usable tool for handling the data you keep in iCloud.
