Ask HN: Worthy phone OS to dedicate dev time to?

4 pointsby yawnover 3 years ago
Aside from Android/iOS, what other Smart Phone OSes have captured any kind of market? I'm considering spending my personal project time developing apps for something other than the Big 2. Is there anything out there that other devs are excited about? Anything picking up steam lately?

S60 and Blackberry captur<i>ed</i> plenty of market, but they don&#x27;t have it now.<p>KaiOS is marketed as a featurephone OS, but is Android + Gecko? so it&#x27;s smartish. It&#x27;s got some marketshare, but not that much. I think it&#x27;s got more potential than Tizen anyway, and I don&#x27;t think there&#x27;s anything else out there with current support that targets regular users.

KaiOS ( Firefox OS ) is the only one with some usage. 150M, around 3.3% usage. The other 96% are all iOS &#x2F; Android.
