Hi HN,
I’m building Waycore, an open-source project exploring what a flexible, offline-first field computer should look like for outdoor, survival, and off-grid scenarios.
The core goals are adaptability and resilience:
modular hardware (external sensor/tool modules)
extensible OS with support for external apps (guidelines in progress)
no required internet connection — maps, models, and knowledge work offline
optional LTE/Wi-Fi when available and explicitly enabled
A major focus is on-device agentic AI, not just chat or image recognition. The AI is intended to:
read live sensor data (GPS, compass, environment)
reason over offline knowledge
