LibrePhone

ive been mulling over designing an open source phone that can have at least most of its hardware made through PCBway, and cheap parts from sites like alibaba. so if you want the phone, you just copy and paste the order list and build or upgrade it yourself.

it would be pretty simple in comparison to the other phones, but modular. there were more mainstream design ideas like this around a decade ago, but they decided it would be more profitable to sell entire phones instead of modular ones.

then theres fairphone, which is the closest thing we have to that now.

i think we need to start building our own phones like we can build our own PC's.

i saw a youtube video recently where i guy built his own own phone with some existing parts and others made by PCBway. and honestly im just tired of the same slab type phones anyways. i want something unique i can repair myself that doesnt spy on me everwhere i go.
