@raccoon well it's unfortunately not fully open source and does have some Big Tech stuff built in (Google Assistant, Maps)

There's a custom ROM called #GerdaOS specifically for the Nokia 8110 Bananaphone that is fully Free Software. There was also #ProjectPris for other phones but there's been no news on that for a while 🙁

Other two hurdles I think are app availability and sluggish hardware. As for #XMPP support...kind of, with #Convo, and I'm working on it 😉

@debacle yeah, that's unfortunate and also unfortunately above my "pay grade" 🙁 (I mean, area of experience)

I see from the hashtags that you're familiar with #GerdaOS. There was also #ProjectPris by the same people, but it got stalled partly due to getting caught up in the war on #Ukraine. I hope #Convo and other apps will make KaiOS interesting and useful enough that people get together to create a #FreeSoftware version 💭
