it hit version 1.0.0 this summer and it works!

to get started easily, check out meshchat:

https://github.com/liamcottle/reticulum-meshchat

or sideband on android:

https://github.com/markqvist/Sideband

you can already send photos and voice chat over lora, and when lora runs out of bandwidth or if there’s no link, the protocol can seamlessly go over any other link type.

I just happened to recently learn about Reticulum from another part of the internet and find it fascinating. Am I correct in thinking that it can basically run on anything that can run arbitrary code and the ability to talk to another device? (seems like it'd even work over serial if one had the determination to make it work)

Sounds like someone is a fan of Anathem!

Looks great. Does it need all users to install Reticulum, or app/service prividers (online shop etc) on Reticulum can make their services available for access via browsers?

Anybody have any experience running this on a tdeck? I'm kinda toying with the idea of ordering a couple just to play with.
