I get the point that that’s where the people are, but also kinda feel like the selfhosted community should act as a vanguard to a point. Sure, maybe you have a ‘front door’ on a corporate platform, but kinda feel like in the case of selfhosted sticking to your principles and purposefully rejecting platforms that don’t fit the vision is kind of important especially when you’re currently in the middle of finding out why.


If you’re targeting a compatible echo show (it’s an older cheap one), the jailbreak is actually really easy, no custom boards or disassembly. The first might take you an hour to digest, but after that the process is 5 minutes and well documented on xda-developer forums. The hardest part is reading and then figuring out which echo show you have.
