Alternative firmware for iRobot devices? (programming.dev)

I’m looking for alternative firmware for iRobot devices. By “firmware” I’m referring to whatever rat’s nest runs these things on device. I’ve about had it with the crazy errors, rebooting, etc. that comes from the terrible software.

I’m aware that dorita980 exists but from my understanding this is the server implementation (basically a drop-in replacement for AWS).

Is anyone aware of any hopefully open-source software for these devices?

I dont know if it support roomba devices at all but Valetudo is an alternative firmware for some autonomous vacuums.

Yes. That's what bookmarks are for.

The bookmarks store what you want to see again. They don't trigger you to ever look at them.
