I've already got some gear and there are a few other nodes around, but basically all it is currently is an emergency backup for texting family members if the Internet and cell service go down. I'd like to start making some cooler stuff like maybe a weather/sensor station and maybe even some online stuff, but I've got so many half-done projects I'm hesitant to start another one lol.
