I feel like the last few releases have been run by the trolls, and not the
users of Qt. I was hoping open governance would enable the community to direct
Qt development, but I seem to have misinterpreted what it means. I'm looking
for what's going into 5.8.. not much listed on the releases page.
I'd like to suggest that mobile get some much needed love.
- Application state transitions; Foreground, background
- Background processing API
- Screen wake lock API
- In-app Notifications: local, remote
While I have those characterized as "mobile" there are things like
notifications occurring on desktop platforms.
Any thoughts?
There's only one reason why you don't see more features for the mobile
parts: There are not enough developers on it. And that's not because
QtCompany is doing anything wrong, they just have their priorities
different from what you have.
Personally I don't care about mobile at all. I haven't had a mobile
customer since 2011 and I don't see that changing. My focus is almost
entirely on Linux embedded and Windows desktop. Those are the areas
where a lot of applications are written.
I'd love to see the mobile platforms thrive. But unless you Qt users
start becoming Qt developers and contribute to it, I don't see that
happening.
