  • RE: Mockups meeting point

    @Mitu I very much agree with this. Community designs are a great source of inspiration, but we need to be very strict on the design language.

  • Did you ever consider becoming a cooperative?

    after reading through this thread I'm left wondering: has this community ever considered becoming a cooperative?

    There's a series of advantages in becoming a cooperative that could potentially be worth the slightly higher effort, like:

    • A transparent and democratic governance model
    • Member funding
    • Access to micro-loans and/or donations
    • Fiscal advantages (at least in some EU countries)

    Are there any discussions around this?

    Thanks

  • RE: Compatibility or not as a development priority?

    @NeoTheThird I perfectly understand your point, but temporary solutions have this nasty habit of turning permanent when you're not looking, that's all.

  • RE: most wanted core apps to run ubuntu as daily phone OS

    I'd add these:

    • a weather forecast app
    • an RSS/News app
    • a navigation app

  • RE: Compatibility or not as a development priority?

    I believe we need to ask ourselves another, more fundamental question: who are we talking to?
    Who are we willing to develop for: the careless, uneducated, social-media addicted mass or the tech-savvy and FLOSS-oriented (albeit less substantial) base of already existing GNU/Linux users?

    My personal opinion is that we'd rather deliver to the latter and build our future on rock-solid foundations and world class code quality rather than chasing after people who do not know nor care about open source, just for the sake of sticking a flag on the top of all-too-crowded Mount Social Media.

  • RE: most wanted core apps to run ubuntu as daily phone OS

    @WLBI Android compatibility is a shortsighted idea: the positive impact on adoption (if any... just look at Sailfish OS) will deplete rapidly while the "Android clone" aftertaste will last forever. Let's not forget OS/2's terrible "me too" death.

  • RE: Did you ever consider becoming a cooperative?

    @NeoTheThird I'm more than eager to contribute, even substantially (€50/100 a month) on Patreon, but I'd much appreciate if we could move towards a coop (or other legal entity model) ASAP.

  • RE: Tool to create prototypes and test them (proposal)

    Hi,

    we need to be very clear on the terms when talking about UX matters.

    • Pencil is a wireframing/flowcharting tool (which I know very well and often use instead of Balsamiq).
    • Fluid UI is more of a "low-fi prototype demo" service.

    The two are not interchangeable nor synonimous.

    @Nic264 I used to work on the core apps project and still have the Balsamiq credentials stored somewhere. The tool is pretty slick (though a little slow at times) and allows for both wireframing and live-testing.
