      @rubdos yeah, devices are always better, but emulators have advantages as well.

      @mihamarkic Not having to get a device is a certain advantage, and so is isolation. The emulator was really terrible in my experience, but my memory is also really vague. One issue is that it's a VirtualBox-based emulator (iirc), but most people nowadays take the Docker-based SDK, and they don't like to be installed on the same system for some reason. But it's been a while since I used this stuff.

        This is the first in a small series of posts about Sailfish OS, and how I use it as my daily driver. Feel free to dump questions here, and I'll see what I can cover!

        I'll definitely mention #Whisperfish...

          Have you seen this @allan_christoffersen in case you're considering a Jolla. I definitely am.

            No I had not, thank you for the mention! I too has been a Nokia user for a long time, all the way to the brilliant N900. Sadly it bricked a few months after "The Burning Platform" speech, and I never joined the Sailfish adventure. Looking forward to more writeups!

              @rubdos Great to see your post and IMHO Whisperfish is one of the most important apps for Sailfish.
              I will have two Jolla phones, I really want to see the project and community thrive.
              This comment is not a complaint but a highlight the importance of good quality native apps that can be trusted, like Whisperfish.
              The weakest part of the Jolla/Sailfish experience is still be availability of key native apps and a trust in the app security.

                @egonian What kind of app security would you like to see, going ahead? I know @abranson is working really hard on that lately!

                  @rubdos how likely do you see yourself getting Whisperfish into the Jolla Store, I wonder?

                  Constantly thinking about the first user experience πŸ™‚

                    @Setok Some day. The Jolla store should be a beacon of quality and usability, and I want to achieve that before getting it there. But it's been on my mind and on the code a lot lately!
