Hi everyone!

Just wanted to share a few interesting projects I've stumbled upon regarding mesh networking, P2P, etc.

- NomadNet (off-grid, decentralized)
  URL: https://github.com/markqvist/NomadNet
  DESC: Off-grid, resilient mesh communication with strong encryption, forward secrecy and extreme privacy.
  Other note: can be used over Packet, IP, Lora, serial, etc.

- Meshtastic (off-grid comms)
  URL: https://meshtastic.org/
  DESC: An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices

- Aether

  NOTE: Like a P2P Reddit
