Clickbait title. Just say it's meshtastic.
Ok.......what's meshtastic? I still haven't clicked the article, and know nothing of which you speak.
I'd say this title is for people like me. I think it sounds cool.
It allows us to make a mesh network (interconnected nodes where you can contact a node even if it's not in range for you, by using other nodes) with Lora radio devices. Lora is slow but has long range. I think it works better when you have line of sight, like if someone can put a node on a mountain, it would help everyone.
I think people might have sent audio with it but it's mostly useful for text messages. It could be useful if the Internet is down, maybe, but it's more like a toy.
