let's say I wanted to hop into the meshtastic game but I really hate carrying around extra things. What would be the smallest device-node-thingy you would recommend?
@bleeptrack Maybe the SenseCAP Card Tracker which has the size of a slightly thicker credit card https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-Card-Tracker-T1000-E-for-Meshtastic-p-5913.html
SenseCAP Card Tracker T1000-E for Meshtastic

It is a high-performance tracker designed for Meshtastic, as small as a credit card, effortlessly fitting in your pocket or attaching to your assets. It embeds Semtech's LR1110 (Supports 863-928 MHz range), Nordic's nRF52840, and Mediatek's AG3335 GPS module, providing Meshtastic users with a high-precision, low-power positioning and communication solution.

@octoate oh yeah, I already had an eye on that one after I saw it with @ishotjr yesterday!
@bleeptrack @ishotjr I also like the LiliGo T-Deck which has a display and a keyboard and is a one in all device. The german Make Magazin 7/25 features an article about Meshtastic
@octoate @bleeptrack hehe I showed this one yesterday too! 💞

@octoate @bleeptrack and thanks for reminding me, I covered a few #Meshtastic devices in the most recent issue of @makemagazine! 😁

Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers

@ishotjr @octoate @bleeptrack @makemagazine Just checked this issue out from my local library. Nice article with a few new ideas for me to think about.

Looking forward to getting my hands on some equipment to start trying it all out.

@Topslakr @octoate @bleeptrack

Thanks for sharing that!
