For both lighter weight and modular (as in open source modular) check out the Molly MacPack.

I think you could be on to something, regardless of the dud comments above. Creative people always face negative judgment from uncreative people.
Keep refining your design with more attachments. I believe simplicity it your design makes it great.
Maybe one reason people would like a pack frame that fits different attachments is because they could customize it to fit their exact body style. That way they wouldn’t have to mess with different packs that didn’t fit the same (or fit at all). Just a thought.

A modular backpack is an old design! Ever been in the army? Check out military equipment and you’ll find lots of modular equipment….

Meh. Jack of all trades, master of none. To have enough stability, seems like it could make some configurations needlessly heavy, too.

It is a pretty cool idea, but is it really practical? Why not just have a bunch of backpacks? All you’re really doing is making the straps removable, and possibly losing some of adjustments of single piece bag.

Granted, being able to clip things in that don’t have straps seems like a good idea, but I don’t think its worth modularizing the bags themselves.
