Very cool. I could see this opening a lot of easier opportunities for "BBS" style nodes that you message commands to. Hell, some Pi's can even run small LLM's.

I wonder if this might be easier to somehow come up with some sort of integration where if I’m VPN back home, I can have some sort of messaging app on my phone that would talk through my network to this pie and send messages out wherever I might be. I worry at some point apps like Signal will be forced to shut down and I’m starting to look at every possible opportunity to still create some degree of network for me and friends to communicate.

You can do this with any node that has WiFi!

Yeah meshcore already has a chat room style for nodes. It works really well. I could see tastic stealing the best ideas from it.
