OpenWhatspp project
Dear Blackberry, Before you decided that OpenWhatsapp
violates WhatsApp's terms and that you
could not accept it in App World, have
you been fully aware that YOU are the ones who got me started on this
project? You are the ones who
convinced me to port this application to
BB10. You are the ones who explicitly
proposed and provided me with internal
support from your OWN developers to get my port ready ASAP. You are the
ones who sent me a Dev Alpha even
when I explicity and CLEARLY stated
and described what app I am working
on. I understand this was back at a time
when WhatsApp decided to ditch your platform. But throwing away my work
upon a request of WhatsApp was just a
cheap shot! Do you think it's cool to get a developer
work on a DAMN app for several
months, and then just throw it away in
the end?! Do you realize how hard it is
to deliver an app that is as polished as
OpenWhatsapp?! I understand how NOW you are trying to keep friends with
WhatsApp and all that, but do you think
this is the appropriate way to treat
developers who "really" believed in your platform ?! Or was I just being
used?. And I'm sorry, your limited edition
device is not enough "compensation"
for my work which again, YOU
STARTED, and now simply threw away. I don't want anything that reminds
me of this betrayal.
Worst Wishes,
