  • Ive done react native and full blown native.

    Its almost always difficult to keep it up to date with what google and apple keep changing things around. But initially its usually pretty easy. The hard part is its very difficult to get it though the app store. Apple is a toss up if its eaay or hard. Im convinced they have random people look at some % of builds. Android can be worse. The amount of ducks you have to get in a row…

    Im glad i havent had to make a mobile app last two years. But before that 5ish years building apps made me hate mobile dev.

























  • Its decent…but VERY hard to set up. At least at the moment.

    Ive played around and contributed a tiny bit over the last couple of years. You basically set it up piecemeal and then you have an actual decentralized server/client setup on a number of devices. Phones, lora, etc… can all work with it.

    Ive sent myself some pictures/voice/internet packets via two heltek v3 at one point using nothing but the system and a laptop not connected to the internet. It does what is says on the tin.

    But it took quite a bit of time and effort to get there. And while it was neat, no one else is really using it and things go down all the time. So I moved on to “easier” projects like meshtastic/core.

    Tor/onion is MUCH easier than using reticulum but also is dependent on quite a number of internet nodes all being up and doing their thing. reticulum can run on the equivalent of 1W (or less) helteks.
