*this is my project to make a cheap, open source and easy to reproduce handheld to replace phones

*SAPs are single file applications I'm leveraging msgpack to create, basically a bundling utility that can take arbitrary files and text, right now I'm using it to bundle Python applications for use in Pyodide

When I'm done I'll be ready to start back in on the website maker and webrtc signaling.

Meaning (firstly) portable Python applications in a single file. This will make it easy to distribute applications over PierMesh, though some security considerations will have to be made.

Sorry, clarification: 128 Gb per node so ~6.5 Tb total per 60 node network accounting for disk space shrinkage

Napkin math it'd be less then $2k in materials. We'd price it a $5k to cover a whole twin set of nodes for people who can't/shouldn't have to pay and to cover the work involved. But we'd also provide the instructions on how to diy so you can...well diy if you want

Also we fully plan on supporting people who want to make local only networks for whatever purposes

Southwest United States and surrounding areas is where we'd be starting from but we have interop with the main internet so people all over the world can be part of the network as we're building it and eventually we hope to build a worldwide network where people can connect to it directly

Nothing to do with psychosis this is pure hype chasing

We're looking for people who'd be interested in building the physical network so consider if you'd want to get in early on that. The boards we use are pretty cheap (about $16) and thats most of the cost:

Though the software should work for any boards Meshtastic supports
