 Wouldn't recommend to have high hopes on meshtastic. They've been criticized often for ignoring volunteer efforts to improve the platform and the hardware itself is exotic.

We already have good enough hardware right now in our pockets, smartphones are able to communicate for hundreds of meters without phone nor internet.

I'm investing my time and effort to make sure we rescue our phones into the decentralized land. 
 I'm not super knowledgeable about the project itself, but what I meant was to use it as an example with the recent demonstrations of people making #nostr posts with it. I'm all for phones having that capability, in fact that's even better! Especially if people have the option to send signals in different frequencies (in the interest of comsec and to get around jamming if they are currently in a country that's hostile to self-sovereighnty). 
 We'll get there.

New projects on that route will soon be presented here. If they succeed, just really depends on us here to make them happen.
