Building an audio chat tool in Rust akin to a walkie-talkie. The original goal was a hardware device that's pre-programmed to work with a group of other devices where you just push a button to talk and it gets broadcast to the whole group with high quality audio.

First I'm starting with just a software version because cross-compiling for the pi-zero is kind of annoying.

Intended to be used by our team as we work remotely, but hopefully it'll be open-sourced soon after.

This is a cool idea, can you link to github or wherever the project will eventually land?
