Show HN: Waycore – an open-source, offline-first modular field computer

Summary

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 offlineoptional LTE/Wi-Fi when available and explicitly enabledA 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 knowledgeuse apps and core APIsassist with navigation, safety checks, logging, and communicationMain project repo (OS & architecture): https://github.com/dmitry-grechko/waycoreThere’s also a separate repo curating freely downloadable survival & outdoor PDFs for offline use: https://github.com/dmitry-grechko/waycore-knowledgeI’m looking for feedback and contributors around:UI/UX for rugged touch deviceshardware modularity & interfacesoffline/edge agent architecturessmall models that work well without internethigh-quality public-domain or permissive survival knowledge sourcesHappy to answer questions or hear critique.
