I've found it on Reddit today, it's built on PostmarketOS and aims to replicate Blackberry 10 experience. Posting here because it looks much nicer than Phosh and I've never heard of it, despite following mobile linux communities.

It can, but you'd need to have pretty thin fingers to use the GUI. Or carry a touchpad with you all the time.

Or a stylus.

A battery powered stylus with a pointing stick on the end and a few buttons along the body would be neat.
