If it was literally make-or-break for the entire platform, especially in the markets it was targeting, I’m surprised Mozilla never volunteered to subsidize or build a WhatsApp port.
- fabrice_d 6y agoWhy do you assume didn't try anything? We actually: - have been friendly to 3rd party clients developers, like Loquim (https://loqui.im/ https://loqui.im/). Once WA turned on e2e encryption, the situation for 3rd party clients changed from "difficult but fun" to "mostly impossible". - wrote a JVM in JS to run the S40 version of WA (https://github.com/mozilla/pluotsorbet https://github.com/mozilla/pluotsorbet). - partnered with a company specialized in bringing android apps to other OSes (they had Windows Phone support for instance).
