Am I the only one who thinks this project will never succeed? I mean, don't get me wrong I want it to succeed, but in this ecosystem of apps/capitalism, and Apple/Google duopoly, I see no chance of an open project like this going mainstream, and the intersection between the tech enthusiasts (as I really don't think this project is aimed at the non tech-savvy) and who actually would want to replace their phone with this isn't enough (HN community isn't a good KPI for this, obviously. We need to check out the general audience) to support the costs.
I'd like to be proven wrong though.
