don’t use android apps. I came from meego->sailfish(jolla)-> android and now back because of how much android sucks.
It was easy ‘noob’ user easy to install SFOS on the volla phone with ubports. Lineage would have been more difficult.
For me, what was important is that you are not alone where things like Signal and co. Are concerned. I’m working on some apps (might still take on Facebook) and app development is certainly ‘doable’.
I mean in the sense that there is a base and QT/QML ist a proven platform. The problem is getting traction against Google.
However, Android had an edge on Apple (I’m an old apple guy, first mac, 1986) and IOS took a bit of time to catch up. In 2001 (when apple shares where 6 bucks) nobody would have guessed that a music player box would lead to the iphone. Still, back and forth, Android dominates in numbers and ios, sort of, as a platform?
Nah. Nokia was better 20 years ago and SFOS is still a better base, and many of the original concepts from Jolla are still bloody brilliant. Else I wouldn’t have come back.
And I was REALLY disappointed with the Jolla Phone. One step at a time. … erg… I think I’m writing a developer rant.
