Yeah I'm interested. I've been building something like this solo, but don't have the skill set to write a mobile app to go with it. I've got the spare parts to make a dozen widgets with a comparable feature set, but family life is keeping me from doing much of it. I know a guy in disaster response who would love to get his hands on a working prototype set to geek out over.

I'm one of those amateurs.

Gotenna is stupid expensive. And spot is pretty evil (or at least the instances I've encountered it).

I think what most of the public expects from a radio device is PTT audio. Which isn't going to work with these low bitrate lora devices. I think if they got conditioned to some of this form factor, it would catch on a lot better.
