Making calls and other basic phone features do not work yet.

Um. That could be a problem.

In its current state, this project does not target end users, but fellow developers who find this interesting and want to join in. So if you count these blog posts as releases, it follows the release early, release often principle to get interested developers to know the project and accelerate with joined forces.

The calls app is probably not even in the top five apps used everyday by a large swath of the mobile population.

My guess is that FB, Mail, Whatsapp, Twitter/insta/Snap, and news apps make up the top 5.

To start off with I think a browser and email client would be the most important.

Just get a browser and some form of networking to run and you've got a pretty usable OS for a lot of people.

This is me right now on my iPhone. Apart from an ssh app, a openvpn app, and my bank's app (which could probably be handled on the browser using KeyChain), I use the browser for everything. It's glorious.
