Question
I've posted several questions on this forum but haven't received any responses. Are there other active support channels available for Tizen development?
I'm particularly interested in:
- Other dedicated forums
- IRC channels
- Discord communities
- StackOverflow tags
- Any official support options
The lack of available support makes Tizen app development particularly challenging, especially when facing basic issues.
