  I am interested and capable and have been planning on making a google free android build when i have the time. If this works out i could instead use that time to write or work on my other projects instead.

  As people (including geek types) age, they tend to wish for simpler, more functional technology. They may still care about privacy, but may prefer more support and ease-of-use. That is likely there market. Unfortunately, I think it is the current generation of geek types that will care most about privacy, and so they may be a good bit ahead of their market.

  no, i am using lineageOS and the amount of work i need to put into it to make it usable is a lot. there are issues that drive me mad (for example lineageOS does not allow me to completely disable mobile data, something even most otherwise horrible chinese android phones support) i don't have time for this. my phone is a tool and not a toy. i don't want to spend hours evaluating apps just to find one that works. i'd gladly pay something for someone to give me a trustworthy experience.
