I have a vague idea for a fork for my #TinyBSS. a #Meshtasdtic firmware where every client host a sort of #BBS. it would be for families or groups of friends at festivals. I would want stuff like persistent emergancy messages. If someone drops off the mesh or has their node off you can send a DM to them automatically once they get back online and you get an Ack from the DM. also stuff where parents can store all the GPS movements of the people in their family and store it int he external flash.

This is really a vague idea so I'd love to hear from people who travel or go to festivals in groups with #meshtastic about the features you would want for a Peer to Peer #BBS client?
there could be features where if a family member goes missing you can send a message that changes their node to broadcast location every minute. stuff like that.

I've been fleshing out this idea. It's called #TinyBBS #SideClique: A peer-to-peer decentralized #Meshtastic #BBS for families and friend groups. We have daily Wordle, chess by mess, and a daily LORD based multiplayer RPG based on the game Wastelad which is a meta game inside the #Fallout world. the wasteland is hashed so it's a daily social game take on an 80s classic Legend Of the Red Dragon type RPG. The RPG is on TinyBBS too, but I was able to move it to SideClique.

the idea is each #Meshtastic node is running the peer-to-peer #BBS client and every encrypted channel can become a #decentralized BBS with email, daily #wordle, rpg, #chess, SOS location services for families. It's a modern take on primitive software of the 80s that runs on a meshtastic node. This is off grid tech so it works without internet or gird power. you can power a node with a small solar panel.
