I’ve adjusted the text to be less a gazilionth-list-of-personal-grievances thread. It wasn’t my intention.
Jolla as Jollyboys is starting a new journey with so many good news that I felt like it would be a pity to repeat old mistakes. Fixing long-time felt pain points would be amazing contribution to already great list of good news.
I understand you develop some apps for SailfishOS, that is already great contribution to this community and I appreciate every single one of you guys and gals. I contribute the way I can - by reporting back bugs, asking feature requests and buying new products.
I feel there is a difference between SailfishOS app development community and Jolla/Jollyboys.
You contribute your time, skills and you expect code contribution and donation.
Jollyboys make this possible by allowing community to contribute in various aspects of their products lifecycle. That’s a very unique approach and I love that. But make no mistake, they still sell a product and people buying their products expect something for their money.
So, while I would agree with majority of your comments if we are discussing this on some community-driven project, I would appreciate more respectful replies regarding paid product which SailfishOS and this new device is. It has amazing background story but in the core it’s still a paid product which needs to be successful on the market. Fixing the most frustrating issues is essential for the product success in the future, I believe.
