    It’s definitely limiting. LoRa wan meshed network is more useful. But most people don’t have a LoRa capable device. I could see something like this at a protest or public event at least. If there were enough nodes in the area the network could span hundreds to thousands of feet with the right conditions. But that’s a big ask ATM.

      Meshtastic requires bespoke hardware, it’ll always stay a marginal tool

      This requires: an iPhone.

      And someone will make a bridge from this to Meshtastic in a while anyway
