webOS still has no developers, which is the reason they did not make it.
WTF! As a webOS developer I'll be damned if someone says that the developers were the reason the platform didn't thrive. Between the official channels and preware there was plenty of development going on. Probably not in iOS or Android numbers. Here it is: Palm transitioned from Mojo to Enyo. Developers are writing applications in Enyo since that is where the future of the platform lies. The only device that used Enyo was the Touchpad. Once Apotheker shitcanned that product a lot of webOS developers were left holding the bag.
Samsung would have to build support on it, make it really cool and attractive for developers.
They would have to do no such thing. Steady improvements and a real commitment is all we ask. The platform is good on its own but if it has no rudder the community isn't going to steer it for you.
They added an App Store late and it never really took off
This will come as surprise to a lot of v1 Sprint Pre owners. "Hey what's this icon do? It says App Catalog but that can't be right because according to this blog they haven't created it yet. Must be some sort of trick!"
As a mobile developer I've put my project on the shelf because I don't know what HP is going to do with it and there are so many other mobile platforms that are still kicking. Under the current CEO I have no confidence that webOS is going to survive in any useful form.
- chc 15y agoI would say WebOS actually had outsized development support given its anemic support from its parents.
