  • One of the best cases for building a versatile tool, is accessibility to less privileged populations, for example people who can’t efford to have a reliable Internet because of their shady ISPs, they need a browser that renders web content as fast as possible, and also because they can’t afford to download apps due to slow internet speeds, Flatpaks could take gigabyte of HDD space and you have to update them later, which is painful in other parts of the world

    Even if the user had a reliable Internet and solid hardware, maybe they’re a security minded individual, and want to keep their app installs to a minimum. To them many apps are considered bloat and that’s dangerous.

    I think the difficulty lies in wisely choosing what features to include, before your users start asking : hey, do we really need that ? Or : who uses that ?

    that’s why listening to feedback is so important










  • Huawei, Xiaomi and Samsung phones

    • main reason: anti user freedom, and locking you in to their system, it’s extremely hard to wipe out your phone in order to sell it if you have a Samsung account linked to your phone, and they make it hard to flash a custom ROM, imagine buying a phone with your own money and you still need the manufacturer consent to do what you want with it…
    • confusing and slow UI
    • Ads everywhere on the UI
    • bloated with games and useless apps
    • they don’t take security seriously at all ( slow updates )
    • short update period
    • they lie in their marketing by giving big numbers ( battery capacity and camera quality for example )

    And last but not least, they kill your apps
