Jolla SailfishOS and Ubuntu Phone OS

Now that Ubuntu has just released their first phone and both Jolla SailfishOS and Ubuntu Phone OS rely on QtCreator IDE, it would be interesting to find out, discuss and start to investigate what are the user needs, developer prospects, software requirements and also best user/dev community practises to grow the native application provision and improve SailfishOS/Mer platform ecosystem in this new situation where two device manufactures and OS providers have some common mobile platform components, most notably QML/Qt-based SDKs.

Naturally, there are lot of differences in the UI, middleware, hardware adaption and driver layer, and also the device specs are far from being identical. However, as both platforms are Qt-based, the co-developing to Jolla devices and Ubuntu Phone could be possible or atleasr finding ways to easily port apps between these platforms. In.any case, the co-existence of Jolla/SailfishOS and Ubuntu/Phone OS should be seen as good possibility for Qt/QML-based appöication ecosystem(s) to gain traction and a great chance for both devices/OSs/platforms/gesture UIs to become more familiar outside niche markets or enthusiast users.

Whar do you think? What can Jolla community do to benefit from this situation? Is Jolla going to collaborate with Ubuntu to for find biz or platfor/ecosysyem benefis for both? Is it already possble to develop native apps for both with e.g. the current QtCreator in SailfishOS SDK? How far apart are the platfprms actually? What kind of (existing) apps could be easily or in the duture developed / ported to both?

User/developer insights on Jolla SailfishOS, Ubuntu Phone and Tizen

Now that Ubuntu has just released their first phone (and Tizen SDK has also been made available) and atleast both Jolla SailfishOS and Ubuntu Phone OS are Qt/QML-based and have QtCreator as SDK IDE, it would be interesting to start to investigate what are the user needs, developer prospects, software/platform requirements and also best user/dev community practises to grow the native application provision for Jolla and to improve SailfishOS/Mer platform ecosystem in this new situation where two device manufactures and OS providers have some common mobile platform components, most notably QML/Qt-based SDKs (and related Qt-libs).

Naturally, there are quite a few differences in the UI, middleware, hardware adaption and driver layer, and also the device specs are far from being identical. However, as both platforms are Qt-based, the co-developing to Jolla devices and Ubuntu Phone could be possible. Atleast it should be beneficial to find ways to easily port apps between these platforms. In.any case, the co-existence of Jolla/SailfishOS and Ubuntu/Phone OS should be seen as good possibility for Qt/QML-based appöication ecosystem(s) to gain traction and a great chance for both devices/OSs/platforms/gesture UIs to become more familiar outside niche markets or enthusiast user sphere.

What do you think, can Jolla and the communities help users/customers or developers of Qt/QML-apps to benefit from this situation? Is Jolla itself going to collaborate with Ubuntu or Tizen/Samsung to find biz or platform/app-ecosysyem future perspectives from this?

Is it already possble to develop native apps for both these platforms with e.g. the current QtCreator in SailfishOS SDK?
How far apart are the platforms, devices, app store requurements actually? What kind of (existing) apps could be easily now or in the future developed / ported to both?between them?
