There's no way to build apps locally on most smartphones which are the majority of end user devices. Open source practically died with personal computers.

- michaelmrose 5y agoWhen did personal computers die? Most desktops and laptops are fairly open and although android phones are not as open you can build software on your laptop/desktop for usage on your phone. You could also use something like pinephone or librem. You wont have access to a lot of android tech but the most important functionality. A web browser, sending sms, email, making calls all work.
- spindle 5y agoI agree. Currently not many people use open source on their phones, but that could change, and things like F-Droid are ready to be used.
