Sharing this because it’s one of the most promising Android projects we recommend on Privacy Guides, and it would be a huge detriment to the Android/Privacy community at large if this developer is no longer able to continue this work :(
Happy New Year!
DivestOS and the Divested projects as they currently stand are ultimately unsustainable.
My goal for 2023 was to acquire a grant to continue my work, I was unsuccessful.
Today I am announcing a fundraiser of raising $12,000 USD by end of February.
It may be a stretch to ask, but I hope you all have found sufficient value in my work to keep these projects going.
If it is unsuccessful I will switch to a full-time job and the Divested projects will take a backseat.
To those who have donated, I truly appreciate your support.
Thank you - Tavi/Tad.
This dev is very important to the FOSS android ecosystem. I’ve divested an old phone and I love how opinionated the project is in regards to security. They are very active and take the project very seriously - when I submitted a bug report on github I got a response within three minutes!
Please donate!
…three minutes!!!
Talk about dedication, I love that
This was a big concern in the Kuketz review. The whole project is basically one guy. Now this guy needs 12k in the next 7 weeks to keep going.
Divest is an amazing project and dealing with these costs is a major issue for any small business. Hoping for the best!
Donated. If you don’t reach the goal, hopefully it helps out in someway.
These projects are great, and I donated, to be sustainable these need to be group efforts, not a single person’s passion project.
I don’t use any of their roms or apps but will donate $1-5
Have heard good things about the project, and there’s actually not that many similar projects out there
Long live foss, we are a legion
Now you!

We are supporting on site/translating or trying to build DivestOS on new devices but most of its projects, the base is being maintained by Tad

I’m not a heavy user of the Divested ecosystem or use the ROMs, but I’ll donate to keep the options healthy and encourage good work! I wish there were a couple more cryptocurrency options like ethereum and bitcoin cash.
