That Gemini link about `salvaged computing` is very interesting, itaddresses several key problems with modern `sustainable` computing andI think it is indeed compatible with the concept and mission of myproject. Thanks for sharing!
Tied with something like Deedum (https://github.com/snoe/deedum),
perhaps modified to support older hardware and to also support sync
for offline viewing, this would seem to be a big head start in
achieving your goal, albeit from a different direction.
Honestly, I don't think Flutter is that suitable for salvagecomputing. First of all, because it relies on Google a lot. Alsobecause it is not very efficient, especially the renderer, whichrequires a relative lot of GPU in order to work smoothly.

The post linked below talks about basic accessible devices in terms of
sustainability, but I think the ideas are quite closely related to
your own. Essentially, it suggests that an existing ubiquitous source
of low-power networked computing is the plethora of Android phones in
circulation (that are only really made 'obsolete' for the purpose of
shareholder returns). It's quite a compelling case for applications in
which WiFi/GSM/Bluetooth/etc. is enough.

The one I wrote on my gemsite requires extremely cheap components,
so that they can be affordable for people with low income in areas
without a lot of infrastructure.
