I'm kinda glad I don't have time at the moment to get obsessed with a new topic (though it's lurking in my future now) - this is really cool. I used to mess around with RTLSDR stuff, this looks like it'll scratch the same itch and possibly be more useful. Meshnets seem like a wonderful solarpunk technology and I really look forward to seeing where this'll go.

I am not so happy that currently all these use the proprietary LoRa system. Some kind of medium range and low-powerd mesh network would be very cool though. There has been some movement in the WiFi HaLow space lately, which is IMHO more promising.
