I mentioned it in the previous* thread in this community, but a similar thing to this that someone could DIY is retro-direct, which uses 2 freewheels and a longer chain (jockey wheel OR double chainring). This has no switching though, instead pedalling backwards is the other gear.

measure to not use a front-derailleur

Not really specific to front, especially when that's more of a thing for additional gear range.
