**LOcal MEshtastic Server** _in development_

Idea is to:
- develop an offline Meshtastic server, running in your local network and **nowhere** else.
- create a web app, coded in `html`, `css`, `js` and `php` and make it a bit prettier than the original.
- code a backend utilising `flask`, `python`, `python3-meshtastic` and `python3-requests`.
- make it as light but versatile as possible _let's see how this is gonna work out..._
- and **maybe** connect to mobile clients in the far future.
