I've posted my first work-in-progress code for Frozen BBS, my Meshtastic-based message board system.
It is *super* early, as in it doesn’t even work yet. The database schema and rudimentary admin tool are in place, though, and in my opinion that’s a big chunk of getting this going.
Now there's a (half-implemented, junky) command line client that lets you read messages.
As promised, user moderation is present from the beginning.
And now you can post messages to Frozen BBS. I factored out all of the console commands into separate functions I can wire up to the Meshtastic client so that most of the code's shared.
*It is not fancy*, but in a terminal window it looks an awful lot like calling into an old BBS if you squint at it just right.

How big an antenna do I need to hit it from 2000 miles away? :)
