I love to see this. I was never a BlackBerry user, but it's great to see people building different approaches to mobile computing on top of postmarketOS. This is also yet another reason I'm very glad I picked up a couple OnePlus 6s to play with. It's still a great device, and I use one with LineageOS as my primary mobile device.
As an aside, I'm bummed to see contributing centered around GitHub and Discord. I strongly believe open source projects should use open source platforms for collaboration. I recognize this is in no way unique to this project; it's a widespread problem. Hopefully that will improve over time.
Pretty cool; reminds me a fair bit of SailfishOS, especially with the gestures and live view app grid. It's always good to see new takes on HCI.
Appreciating the great project website. Up front highlights with gradually more technical information. The "Reality Check" box beside the "Ideal For" is well done too.
What devices are supported? OnePlus 6 validated at 60 FPS. Any PostmarketOS device with mainline Linux or Libhybris should work. Snapdragon 845/855 devices with mature kernel support are prime targets. Device porting contributions welcome.
