The Opera Mini browser was amazing. Did any of the people that worked on it end up working on anything open source making use of the same ideas?

I’m dreaming of having an open source backend that I could run myself on my server, and that would similarly download and compress pages and then send a representation of the page that can be displayed on my iPhone without the app running any JS or anything.

Greater security, and also it would make me able to browse even in bad coverage areas where currently all that happens is I wait an eternity for things to try to load and they just time out.

Basically, I wish there was an open source backend and app that behaved like Opera Mini used to.
