This is not a replacement for the Internet. It's currently basically just a low bandwidth local chat app. You could maybe run more complicated protocols on top of it, but it's not going to replace what we're doing right here right now.

It's a great experiment on LoRa though. It could lead to more complex networking. I'm trying to figure out what to do with it right now.
