It looks a bit like a phone booth, but it's a full node made with what I had at home: an old android smartphone and an old 3.5'' hdd
This is very interesting to see, it could be even better than using Rpi if everything works ok, and it is certainly better than to throw away your android phone in garbage.
I guess phone needs to be connected to power all the time, but I am wondering how is it handling hard drive space, can you also use 1TB micro SD card or faster SSD drive?
It's nice to see code released on github, but you should add license information if it's open source.

OK, very cool, but definitely in the department of just because you can does not mean you should.
If I had some free time I would linker with it.
Could also see a modified version of something like this cable: https://uk.pi-supply.com/products/wd-pidrive-cable being useful to power the phone and drive.
