I’m sorry if this has been said before but for the past 7 years Jolla has promised and not fulfilled on:
- More openness
- More community involvement
- Ways to monetize
Though personally I don’t care so strongly for the last point there are a lot of developers who were around at the beginning who left because of that.
Now the pine64 and the librem5 and a whole slew of truly open OS are about to present serious competition for Jolla and I really don’t know where this is headed.
As for the first 2 points there is a slew of tools and toolchains that are stuck in the past due to hesitance to introduce more openness.
There is more discussion on this here:
