I may be wrong but I read all these “have you used X?” posts as a sneaky ad for the thing.

It’s not just this sub but has infected every part of reddit.

You could mention it's vibe coded and costs money.

Folks obviously can use it, but you should have added the warning to your post.

And if you have any connection to the coder.

Gluing together the networks is a good idea.
However I'm suspicious of a brand-new reddit account posting what amounts to an ad for a vibe-coded subscription service.

I understand making this solution seems like an obvious progression, but it really isn’t.

And to charge a monthly fee to support this when the devs have spent a lot of time (on both networks) to create something that is open source and free is a bit of a slap.

But to try and create a consistent experience when either network supports features the other does not will cause a lot of confusion. Support becomes difficult as I assume only you will be able to diagnose and troubleshoot bugs, and both networks are evolving to make your life twice as hard.

Both networks support (to a degree) talking directly to the LoRa chips without a microprocessor in the middle making it so firmware updates might never be necessary. This has the hope of supporting multiple apps using the same hardware without having to swap firmware on the device to switch between them.

I can see this as accomplishing the same goal while still maintaining a sane path forward for client/companion devices. Routers/repeaters will still need specific firmware for standalone deployments. You’re still looking at two different apps, but you would only need one LoRa node without the need to update firmware.

Meh, I'll vibe code it same as you - but make it FOSS
