for a toy project, the pinephone is on my shopping list.

for serious use i stick to /e/OS supported phones. /e/OS has its own store that also gets apps from google play using their API. i wonder if that will be affected too. so far it's still working

I'd recommend not the Pinephone but the Pinephone Pro. The former is extremely slow.
how bad is the performance really? the pinephone pro is twice as expensive. is it really worth the price difference? it certainly is beyond my budget for toys, and at that pricepoint i'd rather invest into a fairphone.
/e/OS hasn't updated their browser/system webview in 5+ months, see my version tracker here: https://divestos.org/misc/ch-dates.txt
interesting, but even if they did update it more frequently, i think most people don't update their phone that often either. divestOS approach to update webview independent of the phone is actually a clever way to make it easier to update
