open-source-ios-apps VS PongoOS

Then it's easier. There is a community list that took 5s to find and there seems to be nothing in there that fits your description.

There’s this repo but the hard part is you have to search through this to find one that’s active

Not an ios guy.But why don't you give Beam a look or one of the reddit clients mentioned here ( just do a 'find in page' ->search for reddit )

There’s a giant list here on GitHub

This repo has a huge list of open source projects: https://github.com/dkhamsing/open-source-ios-apps

Yes: https://github.com/dkhamsing/open-source-ios-apps

No idea, as mentioned i just got lucky and came across this and it worked easy. https://checkra.in/

If you do jailbreak it use checkra1n

Have you tried checkra1n?

"A pre-boot execution environment for Apple boards built on top of checkra1n." - c1

oh alright, i’ve been doing it on mac and the GUI from https://checkra.in/ almost made the process automatic. so if you’re using Windows i’m no help here

So I recently learned about Odysseyra1n, before that I was using Checkra1n, and switched over to it, and based from everything l've researched and now from my own personal experience it's a lot better. So my question is, 1. why is it so unknown like I had never heard of it before this one random Reddit comment on this sub and I'm pretty in the know about most things iPhone jailbreak... 2. For those that do know about it but still use Checkra1n, why, what's the advantage?

If you’re on iOS 12.5.7 you can use checkra1n. Palera1n is for iOS 15.x and 16.x
