With all due respect - we don’t have the manpower to do everything we want to
do on the desktop app.
Instead of spending massive amounts of work on three new apps (what about a
Tizen app, what about Firefox OS, what about Sailfish?) we should figure out
how much it will take to make the current UI “mostly” useful.
Playing with Anton’s build has been on my todo list since, I don’t know,
forever.
I keep wasting my time fixing bugs, making releases, creating builds for our
users, helping new features along…
