MistMesh

🧭 Project Overview

MistMesh is a lightweight, Python-based interface designed to unify and route local wireless signals—whether via LoRa, serial, or local sockets. Built for resilience and simplicity, MistMesh is inspired by field kits, handheld terminals, and the dream of post-internet autonomy.

Designed to run on low-power devices like the Raspberry Pi, MistMesh features a custom GUI (built with tkinter) that displays connected interfaces, signal status, local message feeds, and environmental telemetry. The UI evokes a terminal console with fae circuitry—lean, effective, and built for wandering.

🛠 Features

• Real-time interface status tracking
• Integrated message console + feed
• Signal quality ranking: Top / Best / Worst
• Clock sync + alert toggling
• Modular input/output pipeline for future plugins
• Low-power operation for extended field use
• Multi-interface support (LoRa, Bluetooth, WiFi)

🌀 Development Goals

• Add interface drivers (LoRa, serial, mesh-over-IP)
• Implement local logging + file-based message history
• Explore plugin system for mesh routing strategies
• Begin prototyping MistMesh Compact — a solar-powered handheld version with an e-ink screen and physical controls
• Develop encrypted messaging protocol
• Create API for third-party integrations
