A small project to help out anyone trying to keep their old devices functional.

I wrote a script to scrape pages of some popular alternative OS projects (such as postmarketOS and LineageOS), and put them into a single list. I'll try to automate and keep this up-to-date. Any additional OS suggestions and comments are welcome!

The battery in my old phone looks like the Goodyear blimp, should I still proceed?

You might end up needing postmortemOS

On a serious note, you can run without a battery

I cut and sanded a piece of flooring to fit into the battery compartment.

I was not expecting this reading the article. Looks like the phone's from the 70s
