An open-source desktop dashboard for chatting across Meshtastic networks, mapping nodes, probing connections, and preserving packet history.

Why it surfaced

Perch pairs a cross-platform dashboard with Coop, a Go engine that owns the radio, decodes packets, and stores captures in a local SQLite database. The site supplies real screenshots from a 615-node St. Louis mesh, hardware guidance for a roughly $40 radio, and unusually complete documentation for getting from USB cable to neighborhood network.

A File Musicians Can Argue With

August 7’s newborn domains include editable orchestral scores with up to 33 staves, 15 years of Valencia council interventions, a dementia-friendly frame with one optional button, and a memorial golf tournament whose winner wears the Meatball Jacket.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-07 Domain Arrivals issue.
