Until Freeform works on Windows and Android, it’s not collaborative, it’s a walled garden.
Perhaps the solution is for Android to make a better app, and better apps in general, that will draw people away from the iOS ecosystem.
Competition is supposed to be good. So compete.
All I ever hear from the Android side is a lot of "walled garden" pearl clutching. Seldom any innovation, and evidently no innovation good enough to break the magical spell of Apple.
When Android does innovate, and Apple chooses to adopt a method, then it's all "embrace, extend, extinguish! It's Micro$oft all over again!" As if Android never gets sloppy seconds on features, or half-baked mimicry of Apple products and services.
It's this continuous whining and moaning that makes Apple, and Apple users, tune out the Android dev bros. They're just reactionary and it's easy to not take them seriously.
The bottom line is the same now as it's always been: Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door.
