Just found out about this new project and I really like their goals and vision. Allow everyone to use an Android-based system without Googles spying tools. They don’t start from scratch designing their own hardware yet but base their mobile project on LineageOS. They also attack all the different services and want to work on an OS for PCs as well.
From their website:
