## Credits & Inspiration
Around 2014/2015 I rooted my first phone and went down the rabbit hole of what you could do with a rooted Android.
That's when I found [DriveDroid](https://softwarebakery.com/projects/drivedroid) ([archive](https://web.archive.org/web/20160901000000*/https://softwarebakery.com/projects/drivedroid)) by Software Bakery. Teenage me thought it was the coolest thing ever.
fastforwrd few years: DriveDroid stopped being maintained, 404 on playstore, and even if you find apk floating around ([Kali NetHunter](https://store.nethunter.com/packages/com.softwarebakery.drivedroid/) keeps one) it does not work on modern Android. I've wanted something like it for years.
Then I found [isodrive](https://github.com/nitanmarcel/isodrive) by nitanmarcel ([mirror](https://git.shihaam.dev/shihaam/isodrive)). Tried it. It worked. So here we are. ISO Droid is basically me chasing that teenage nostalgia and trying to make something simple that just works.
The name comes from **Drive**Droid + **iso**drive = **ISO Droid**. Not very creative, but it fits.
Special thanks to:
- [isodrive](https://github.com/nitanmarcel/isodrive) by nitanmarcel - The CLI tool that powers ISO Droid
- [ISODriveUT](https://github.com/fredldotme/ISODriveUT) by fredldotme - Original inspiration for isodrive
- OS icons from [Simple Icons](https://simpleicons.org/) and [SVG Repo](https://www.svgrepo.com/)
- [DriveDroid](https://softwarebakery.com/projects/drivedroid) by Software Bakery - where it all started
- [Simple Icons](https://simpleicons.org/) and [SVG Repo](https://www.svgrepo.com/) for OS icons
