Thanks for this ! Just to better understand some of your technical choices : are you using microG ? Do your phones pass SafetyNet ? (there are many apps that do not work out-of-the-box with custom roms, e.g. bank/payment applications, etc). ! May I also ask : why did you create your own rom rather than contributing to existing projects with a similar target ? (e.g. /e/, calyxos, grapheneos, which start from LineageOS and add some extra work to mimic or sandbox Google Service Framework and precisely care about privacy...)

Yes we use microG and all our supported phones actually pass SafetyNet. It seems that some banking apps still don't work, but most of them yes. We wanted to follow our own road. Isn't diversity a good thing for people? Which does not mean that there cannot be cross-fertilization, that's why we're happy to fully join the open-source scene now.

I'm interested on this as well, in a few months I might be in the market for a new phone and I'm looking at the FairPhone 4which is available out of the box with IodéOS as well.

Just a quick note. SafetyNet works in CalyxOS with MicroG, they are using some sort hack, and it can break sometimes.
