This has been me with Meshtastic. JFC I'm all in on it. Already have something like 9 nodes built and have been asking if I can place nodes in various places around my town to build out the mesh.

I dream of finding a useful application for it so I can rationalize the purchases.

It's pretty useful for off-grid comms. It's also pretty cheap to get started. I got two Heltec V3 devices that include the little antennas with them for $37 total.

I totally get it. I love the idea of building systems and resilient infrastructure for communities and.... Hate realizing nobody would really bother using it. :(

If you get with one of your local Meshtastic groups, there will likely already be a bunch of people who use it. I joined a local group in San Antonio, TX and there are around 205 nodes run by a few dozen people throughout the city.

Obviously rural areas are going to be less people, but you'd be surprised how many people run it already.
