#MeshCore deserves a native #Linux client IMO.

Thanks for sharing, it's really nice !

Could make it work on my laptop.

Sadly seems a little early to test it on my postmarketos phone (it fails with `Exec format error` from ldconfig, so I guess it might not have been build for arm targets). It should work great though as the UI is adaptive.

Great work, I'll keep updated !

@fdlamotte It's made with Linux phones in mind (I've got one too!), but at the moment I only build it on x86_64 and the flatpak bundle is also only for it. But now the code is out, so you can try building it yourself: https://codeberg.org/sesivany/meshy
I don't think there is anything that can make problems on ARM64. If you try it and hit any issues, let me know.

meshy

Meshy - a GTK4/libadwaita client for MeshCore. The goal is to provide the best Linux experience.

Cool @sesivany works great on my phone !

#postmarketos and #meshcore rox ;)

What's your take on #meshcore vs. #meshtastic ? From what I've seen, all the (at least #android ) clients are closed source.

@tomcat @fdlamotte I've always preferred copyleft licenses, so I definitely prefer licensing of MT. But here in Czechia it just doesn't work for use cases I'm interested in. On MC I can text with friends and family across the entire country, hundreds of km, no way to do it with MT.
The official client written in Flutter that is used for mobile platforms and the web is closed, but all other clients are open. For Android you can e.g. use meshcore-open. In many ways it's a better client than the official one. I took a lot of technical inspiration from it.
