Mobile OS
laurensiusadi opened this issue · comments
I have an idea to develop NodeOS into a Mobile OS that runs on smartphones, and apps that's written in JS will run on it, or use PWA (Progressive Web Apps - that currently install-able on android). So the world have another option besides Android, iOS, and Kai OS, etc. An OS which is privacy-focused, monopoly-free (because Google controls everything), and totally open-source.
Since JS (PWA) will run on the OS, current web developers can develop their app or web apps just straight working. So the app ecosystem shouldn't be a problem (like Windows Phone had).
Any thoughts?
P.S. I'm a front end JS developer that don't know shell/linux coding. I can do UI/UX too.
There's some discussion on #114 but that was years ago.
Are you familiar with Firefox OS it was a fully working html/js OS . Mozilla killed our but I believe it lives on. Ory was an amazing OS but just needed more
I didn't know that. Definitely will check Firefox OS, and see why it fails and what can be done.
I've heard of KaiOS before, but didn't notice they're using HTML, CSS, and JS for their apps.
To my surprise, it is forked from FirefoxOS B2G.
FirefoxOS failed because it didn't have native application support so nobody could develop resource demanding apps or anything that needed to be written in a lower level language. Here's a video from TechAltar explaining it better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA-Enxfhl0E

Just watched it, just now, before checking github.
Now I'm curious if KaiOS could be made on better phones ($100-$200) instead of their current line up ($17-$100)
