> Vega’s reliance on React Native for app development
Seems to me that Amazon does not need a complete OS. Most successful apps are Netflix and other “best viewed in a browser” apps.
For a couple of buttons and images you prolly don’t need Android which seems overkill.
So this isn’t against Android, but simply accepting the fact that most consumers are best served with more lightweight apps.
- fyokdrigd 3y agopeople only need android to run the browser. Google know this, hence why they killed fuchsia. with android nobody can make a clone without heavy investment, like amazon and Samsung did, while also paying the extremely high cost of keeping backporting thise changes every new version. heck even google screwed up their port for the pixel line in the 14 upgrade.
- Andrex 3y agoFuchsia isn't dead (yet). They just completed their rollout across the entire Nest Hub line. Only 16% of the team were impacted by the (reported) layoffs, which still leaves the other 84% working on something.
- fyokdrigd 3y agonest is also in the same "dead" group. no matter what the line workers think
