Never heard of meshcore actually. What is it? 👀

https://meshcore.co.uk/ all the rage in the UK right now. Starting to take over Europe too. However, I do not have the technical knowledge to compare the 2 solutions. But I am seeing lots of people ditching #meshtastic to go #meshcore and I would like to understand why.

Mhhh 🤔

"5.7. Q: Is MeshCore open source?

A: Most of the firmware is freely available. Everything is open source except the T-Deck firmware and Liam's native mobile apps."

Yeah I know, but even still, people preffer it. My limited underatanding is that it allows for bigger distances between nodes

I am looking into it 🤠🤙

The fact that the software interface to access it is not open source is an absolute deal breaker for me. If somebody develops an open source app, I'd be glad to use it. But until such point, I will not touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Until then I will stick to only meshtastic.

To me, if it's not open source, it's not worth using.
