We can ask nicely, but we should also be prepared to fight a war. To that end, I wonder if these developers will make their app available on something like PostMarketOS.
I adopted Sailfish OS around a year ago seeing the writing has been on the wall. I get access to F-Droid for apps I need like Cheogram which helps a ton at bridging the gap while hopefully we get more device support for Linux. I want to us postmarketOS, but hardware is usually very, very old—to the point where things like new screens & batteries can be a problem.
I believe Post Market OS is actually beginning to support some currently in support devices. It was definitely made to support devices that were no longer in support, but I believe that may be changing over time.
You say you use sailfish OS, and I have a question for you. What kind of accessibility does it have? Because I use a combination of screen reader and system magnification all the time on Android, and so I really need at least magnification to be able to use the system.
Damn, I can’t find anybody who actually can give me an answer as to what kind of accessibility features these systems have. And I can’t use any of them until I can at least get some answer so that I know what I’m working with. At the absolute minimum, I must have system magnification on the device.
