This is the Modal Collective launch blog post, and is a very good read. Here is a quote about mid way through, the whole thing is an important read.

We also identified a series of interconnected, very high priority issues towards which there is not enough work at the moment, including:

  • Making the free desktop competitive with iOS and GrapheneOS in terms of security
  • Linux phones as a viable hedge/alternative to iOS and Android
  • Local-first sync and collaboration as a an alternative to brittle, centralized server setups

To formulate it more provocatively: We need a free software iPhone.
