[Question] Considering Jolla; How are the apps on Jolla & Sailfish today?

So, I used to be a Jolla user some time back but switched back to Android due to the lack of some (or not fully functional) crucial messaging and media applications. I'd like to get back onboard, but these are still things that I've been thinking but haven't found any information regarding them.

  • Whatsapp. Since Jolla still lacks an official client and Mitakuuluu users have been banned from the service, how are the Android version functionalities on Jolla? Do the notifications work by default and does it find contacts propertly? Can I share images etc.?
  • Facebook, how is the Android version of Facebook working for you guys?
  • 1Password, Is this top-tier and must-have (for me at least) password manager available from Yandex store for Jolla?
  • Anki, An app for memorizing stuff. Crucial for me studying languages while commuting in the mornings and evenings. Any idea if it's available?
  • Telegram. I heard that it's available from Yandex store. Does it work properly?
  • Twitter. Same question as with Facebook.
  • Do the Android apps support getting phone contacts to use in their apps?
  • Chromecast support. Based on what I searched from this site, some people had managed to get their Android apps working with Chromecast. Any experiences on that?
  • JuiceSSH, any idea of the availability on Jolla as an Android version? I could just use the terminal for that but the keyboard was horrible (not native Jolla keyboard) back when I was using it. Plus, JuiceSSH supports mosh, which had to be compiled manually back then if I wanted to use it from terminal.

I guess that's most of it :-)

EDIT: During the announcement of the Jolla Tablet and Sailfish 2.0, nothing was really any mentioned what new stuff the major 2.0 release would bring. Any idea what's coming?
