Meshtastic/MeshCore FIDO: conferences without the internet
An offline echo-conference system that connects Meshtastic and MeshCore nodes across different LoRa settings, networks, cities, and countries.
Field notes
FIDO organizes mesh traffic into echo conferences and personal NETMAIL, with subscriptions drawn from a shared, geo-filtered catalog. Its transport layer combines addressed LoRa delivery with MQTT, DHT, or relay links, while HWM Sync retrieves missing history through a SYNC_REQ, SYNC_OFFER, and GET_DATA exchange. The interface borrows from GoldED, including quoted threads, local Archive/In/Out folders, unread counters, and keyboard shortcuts for nodes, themes, and logs.
