App development after BlackBerry 10 2018-02-28T15:49:22+00:00

Im starting to think more about my mobile app development efforts after BB10 is no longer supportable. It still has life left in it but now that BlackBerry is starting to turn services off it may not be for much longer.  Ive dabbled off and on with Android development and do have an app for pnut.io that Im actively working on.  But Android as a platform isnt my favorite and developing for it isnt as fun given its Java roots.  So Im finally putting more attention towards the mobile Linux development space.  I think there is a lot more room for amazing things to develop and evolve in that arena.  Projects like ubports are gaining momentum and companies like Jolla and Purism have exciting things happening with their distributions and device support.  Ill continue to support my BB10 apps as long as the code signing servers existing and I can distribute usable bar files but Ill also be porting those apps over to Ubuntu Touch and maybe Sailfish OS.  Beyond that any new projects I start on will be for the mobile Linux space.  And open source too!
