I do agree on several points mentioned above (incredible user side app development and old technology issues)
But before we get to the payment part that has already been discussed in other topics (like this one) I wish we could focus more on how we, as non technical users, can bring more applications.
Indeed I doubt Microsoft will release an Outlook/PowerPoint/Word app tomorrow for SFOS (they actually did release those apps for Android when Windows Phones were still alive, stabbing the project, so nothing is impossible). I’ve seen non Chinese companies release apps for the App Gallery (the Huawei application store), it’s indeed easier to port an app on Huawei phones than Sailfish but it’s a proof that big companies are able to develop apps even for markets that they are not present in yet.
PS: Is there a company able to develop SFOS apps (or QT apps in general) ? What’s their costs ?
