No joke, I'm tempted to buy a Steam Deck (or true Linux phone) because... It can run a local HTML/CSS/JS app on a browser with filesystem access and audio support. This is the power of having an OS that is not locked down.

Speaking of which, what would you recommend for me to run a local HTML/CSS/JS app on a browser with filesystem access and audio support? (No, Android is too locked down to meet that spec) Other required specs:

  • Portable: Can fit in a pocket
  • 16GB or more usable storage
  • Bluetooth support
  • Ideally low-cost

Edit: I figured out a way to do it on my phone! I used the "Simple HTTP server" app to self host the HTML/CSS/JS into http://127.0.0.1:8080/.

You can probably encase a Raspberry PI with a battery and a touch screen, micro SD cards can go much higher than 16, and install Linux. Keep in mind that the Linux touch UIs aren't really great imo, the best experience I've had so far is the steam deck.
