Don't get me wrong, I think the work that's been done is amazing, my point is that it's still not daily driver ready. I want to help out, I just don't have the time anymore with a full-time job and kids. If it was daily drive-able, I could probably spare a few hours here and there to improve things (port apps, track down bugs, etc).

I hope it gets there before I need a new phone. Last year I switched to a Pixel 8 for GrapheneOS and cut out most of my Google Play apps, so I should be good for a few years, but I'd very much like to ditch Android entirely next time.

For now, I got my SO to use Signal, but that's it.
