i appreciate their privacy approach, still as a platform they will have a hard time surviving, mainstream =android

so, the best-selling smartphone in the world will have a hard time keeping the most-profitable company alive? Gotcha!
-
being the most-profitable and best-selling smartphone doesn´t make you invulnerable

it does not. But Google (Android IS Google) are not immune either. And privacy awareness kills Android and Google.

Android IS open, I can side-load apps or download apps from alternate app stores and even use non-Google flavored distros.
-
I understand you need to make a living - we all do! FOSS like Android/Linux needs great designers like yourself. Good niche for Indie?
-
it is possible to get paid to work on FOSS and open ecosystems, especially with the design skills your team has.
-
I appreciate what you're doing with Better and your vision for Indie, just wish all that effort weren't supporting a closed ecosystem.
