Nice. I did get a few nodes talking with NomadNet but like I said, I needed more out of it before I could see myself using it.
As a simple but functional “hello world” I was trying to make an MQTT relay to receive/push messages and just couldn’t get things going at all. The MQTT part was straightforward but getting those messages to and from the Reticulum network layer was an exercise in frustration. It was more of a side project at the time, so I may double back and put some more effort into it.
Other than being a starter project, my goal was to work toward a higher-level abstraction that I could use TUN/TAP interface to interact with. Basically a low MTU virtual ethernet port. Kind of like the highly experimental VPN function in the Meshtastic python library. Or a virtual serial port between two Reticulum nodes would be nice. Just something so external programs not written specifically for Reticulum can communicate across it.
