I am completely new to chromium. I do apologize if this is the incorrect form to ask this question.
I have yet to learn to languages I need to build upon this OS or contribute to it, But I had a thought that occurred a while back and i have a feeling Chromium is the platform that will allow me to learn what I need in order to build this. I believe Chromium is one of the only browsers that has active support for WeBLE
We make Software, programs, browsers and some hardware that is open source. But the technology that we use to gain access to open source is not open source, its paid, and proprietary. ( Internet, Cell tower data, GPS, )
Would it be possible to create a network that uses BLE technologies which are present in nearly every home in our “modern” world To deploy an open source network that is free and provides easy access to basic information like ( how to filter water, how to build wind turbines, how to build shelters, sewage systems, learning tools, how to farm sustainably, communication methods that do not rely on the modern use of paid cellphone usage, )
My thought is this would be for people whom are not fortunate enough to live in our high rises or afford access to the internet to gain the information they would need in order to unlock their potential and advance together as a society.
They would be able to access this information through ChromiumOS or a browser based in Chromium. All they would need is an old piece of technology, like a phone that is no longer used, but can be donated.
At the same time this could be used when our modern tech fails us or is compromised.( example, Rogers network failed in my country, it took out access to internet, phones, texts, and our Emergency services. People died because they were in able to place a simple call out to an ambulance)
If we can provide free open source access to information, what is stoping us from elevating our minds collectively. The internet is a wealth of knowledge, but in a way it is still privileged and not always accessible to everyone.
Could someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction as to what languages, and tools I would need to learn in order to attempt this passion project. I have a very basic understanding of HTML5, CSS, Kotlin, XML,Alpine Linux, Electron, Go,bootstrap,swift
I have the idea, I have the passion for it, I need the right rabbit hole to follow. Or even if I can inspire someone here one day, wether it be now or 20 years in the future when someone stumbles on this post. The idea is out there
I welcome all types of discussion on this topic, i want to learn so i need to understand all sides of this.
