For example, not everyone can just publish their apps. Apps are handpicked

aka only CABAL aproved apps to their store

:P

pay for app store

Handpicked by whom? Tbh it's pretty easy to call poo bias here

No, they have transparent requirements for every app. Those requirements are about UX, stability and compatibility

so no code checking ? just the surface

That's the fun part because it's based on b2g

You have no way to run an app without having the source

Also your app may not be just an iframe and everything is on your server, which is nice, too

Once I get my Nokia 8110 I'll make a simple 2D game for kaios and I'll report back on how they behaved when I wanted to publish it

I got a 8110 for 45 CHF to toy around with the platform

porc can you build a discord client for it

thx

```
The KaiStore team reserves the right to reject your app under the following circumstances: [...] Your app does not meet our quality threshold in areas such as 'Basic function', 'Interaction', 'Stability', as well as 'Compatibility'.```

how is kai os more popular than ios

it's not allowed @Droidbot, Discord doesn't allow you to use inofficial clients and you will be purged from discord

you would need to create a bot user and post as a bot

argh christ

yeah i'd just end up posting on my second account

it was really the first thing I wanted to do on kaios

but then I read the discord tos

and decided that @Jake would be mad at me if I made a client for kaios

so I'll make a shitty 2D game instead

make one where you play girl or trap and every monster that defeats you will r4p you

i like those

I mean

you could somehow jank Kai UI+discord backend for the official client

you could also just call discordapp.com and fake your user agent to be desktop chrome

make it show up as official client for web but present through kai ui bullshit

<:thvnk:332928260004642827>

I don't know how popular discord is in India, but given the popularity of kaios, that could be the only incentive for discord to make a kaios client

do kai devices have nfc?

``` <26 February 2018> [...] KaiOS, today announced its collaboration to integrate NXP’s embedded Secure Element (eSE) and Near Field communication (NFC) solution on KaiOS```

either yes or it's being worked on

<https://www.kaiostech.com/nxp-kaios-pave-path-nfc-ese-future-lite-phones/>

does kaio respect my privacy

it's heavily backed with a lot of money by both Google and Facebook

so probably no

to trash it goes
