How does the sandboxing work?
From what libraries/infrastructure they claim they're using, it seems like Flatpak would be the obvious choice for sandboxing.

#12Whoa very cool! Happy to see a new, free phone OS. I'm currently switching to Replicant and moving away from the Apple/Google controlled phone world.
Why did you choose Replicant over CopperheadOS? I've been looking at different ROMs like these and Replicant seems to only maintain pretty old devices which steered me away, plus the fact that it's still on KitKat.
This seems to be the main problem with android alternatives.
I have a Huawei Honor, but can't find any Android alternatives for it.

I actually haven't heard of CopperheadOS before but I chose Replicant because it's a project backed by the Free Software Foundation. I thought I'd give it a try since I'm slowly moving over to the FOSS world for everything and I wanted to support them. :) I actually bought a phone from Tehnoetic with Replicant already installed. Should be here any day!

#14The intro video is very...interesting. They have this fast paced, upbeat music while they very slowly do things on the phone, like make phone calls. It felt like they thought we should be impressed it can make phone calls.

Because it's what you use a phone for?

I think I will remix it with the Google Pixel ad music and style and see if it helps. like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBM5W12JYmQ

#18Your landing page's first call-to-action has gotten caught up in the cascade!
If the anchor text ("VIDEO INTRO") isn't hovered while its parent `div` is, the result is black text on black bg.

#19Just like desktop KDE, the UI doesn't appeal to me. I find it too flashy and kind of "in your face".
My favorite mobile OS so far has been Meego that ran on N9. That device was mind blowing and that OS. Amazing. It had such a simple, yet useful UI. Multi-tasking was better than what even Android has now. I hope Jolla doesn't die like that and we see a lot more devices come out running Sailfish.

Yeah, and that's why we shouldn't be impressed that it can make a phone call. That's expected. But on the intro video for a new phone OS they're 'unveiling' I want to see what's new / different about it. I assume it can make calls.
