Please add the support level to the devices documentation.

https://mobile.nixos.org/devices/index.html

I like the structure of the list here organized by brand:

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

There could be the overall support level like "basic" or "full". At the bottom could be a list of tested devices that are known not to work.

Then a page for every device can get generated with the README content and support level.

The support of specific features can be saved as structured data (Nix/JSON/?).

Good presentation example from https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Xiaomi_Redmi_Note_4_(xiaomi-mido)

I'm not sure if it is helpful to have the device specification there also, but if that is wanted, it an get scraped from https://github.com/LineageOS/lineage_wiki/blob/master/_data/devices/mido.yml

(that's the device i currently use)

Already planned! I have two huge impact PRs to go, and then I need to look into the device-specific documentation task.

Thanks, though, this is now the tracking issue for this :).

The intent is that every device link goes to a page with information about the device. Not a bare link to the GitHub repository. That was done as a way shift the burden of work at a later time.

This issue has been mentioned on NixOS Discourse. There might be relevant details there:
