Time for weekly update a little late this time but...

I really don't get why they try reinvent the wheel when there already exists good UI libraries and wayland shells/input methods!?!?!?

Seriously they have no chance release something stable 2019 if they going reinvent everything!

They should use Qt since it already is has most touch friendly UI out there. Latest 3/4 QT versions has swipe/touch friendly components so why on earth redo it!?

They should concentrate on the backend stuff and throw shell on the trash and do it in Qt using qt quick controls. We don't ned just another wierdo SDK.

Continue using Qt would make it alot easier for SFOS/Harmattan/Nemo/Android developers too.

Yes I know this is prof of concept but still. Why use time in some prof of concept when they instead should concentrate make latest Qt compiled and installed on iMX? Now that would much cooler to see some real UI than some wierdo hack..
