Briar can do the same.

I am maybe being too optimistic with my mile guess. 150 metres may be nearer the reality.

If a council had a Meshtastic relay on top of the town hall (with battery backup) that would keep a pretty wide network functioning, I imagine.

Or ditto a nerd.

If I understand it right, Meshenger will work with phones only. You scan the QR code in someone else's Android phone, they scan yours and then you are linked.

Guessing a mile range if you are lucky. But if they are linked to someone a mile further on and you link with that person, your range is then 2 miles.

If someone within about 10 miles has a Meshtastic radio, you can use the Meshtastic app with that. But Meshenger can talk to that system too.

Five people in the town would work well but a hundred would be a very solid network.

The kind of thing the city council should help with.

See the next message. Looks more suitable and there must be people on here who know much more than me.

#meshenger

@Polychrome #Qaul comes to my mind, it's in development for quite some time: https://qaul.net/. But haven't really used it myself yet. What I did use successfully is @mwarning 's simplistic #Meshenger: https://github.com/meshenger-app/meshenger-android
But despite its name it doesn't have a built-in #mesh feature, you'd need to use it over a layer 2 #MeshNetwork like @batadv / #Freifunk. Similarly, for texting instead of voice @pidgin's #Bonjour Chat comes to my mind (but I think there is no Android app for it yet?)

Tengo dudas sobre varias #apps y quiero preguntaros por si podéis dar vuestra opinión:
- ¿Alguien que haya utilizado #meshenger?

- Sigo buscando un navegador que me agrade. Privacidad y seguridad como prioridad pero sin perder funcionalidad. Mis últimos trasteos son #Opera y #Brave, pero no me convencen.

- Llevo un año con #Swisscows como buscador pero como haya un término que coincida con el nombre de un actor porno, se acabó la búsqueda. Sip, me ha pasado varias veces  

¡Gracias!
