So I just saw a video where somebody made a bulletin board system over the mesh like it's fucking 1999 or something and it got me thinking Would it be possible to send web pages over the mesh as long as they were small?

I went to the DuckDuckGo homepage and copied its HTML source code into a text editor and found out it was something like 46,000 characters and with a 288 character limit it would take 145 messages to send that across. Each message would be something like 0.69% of that page.

It doesn't seem impossible, but you would have to make your pages very lightweight like they were in the 1990s in order to do it efficiently.
