All i can say that there are more apps at openrepos than in original store, so it's not lack of willing to develop devs, but not best opportunity/rules?
As well as contacting is one thing, helping and getting indie devs is other.

From my point of view I'm totally happy there's no Whatsapp as I really don't think proprietary IM clients are a good thing. I can't see how you can be clamouring for open source on one hand and a closed protocol owned by Facebook on the other. Calling Jolla hypocritical sounds very hollow.
Truely i was not talking about whatsapp specifically, i was talking about optimization, and with all my thoughts on Jolla, actually they did a great job on optimization, as android apps work better than on blackberry (at least for me), but the point is if something is not good, people point fingers on anything but not at Jolla.
it's good to be fan, but not to follow blindly and think sometimes.

They do use opensource and surely they push back to what they use(need). Same way as even Nvidia/MS or other company using Open source does.
They opened few things and i don't mind if even they do not open anything else, what bother me is they keep telling that they opensource and opensource friendly. All they need to opensource what was promised, to not talk about opensource if they do not open it. And if they ant to be open source friendly, they can start even with simple road map and public bug tracker (yeah we heard of soon for a year now)

A lot of people did, i barely use Jolla (only for candy crash) so all i had is few reboots and sim cards disconnects when i tried phone (that's why i barely use it first place :P ).
But you can read posts on TJC to understand it's not me just imaginanig things.

The problem that it takes a lot of noise and whinning and fights till something done.


I'll repeat myself:
The problem is that if there is something not good happening around Jolla, while TMO will bash apple/android/NAME_IT_ company if same will happen to them, but with Jolla people point fingers on anything but not at Jolla itself.
It's good to be fan, but not to follow blindly and people should look around and think sometimes.
