  • MQTT

    From phigan@VERT/TACOPRON to All on Saturday, March 08, 2025 23:52:22
    Has anyone thought about adding some kind of MQTT support to Synchronet? Maybe echicken? :)

    My thinking was for interfacing with meshtastic, so maybe just email or interbbs messaging. Regular messages might often be too big. I suppose email would be, too, with quoting and such.

    MQTT supported was one of the big features added in v3.20 in January of this year.

    While I have no idea about Sync, or its development, I would also support this... I'm a Meshtastic user, and I use MQTT for other smart home projects - LOL, imagine a BBS where a light flashes when a user wants to chat. :P I'm all for new technologies in this community - but many disagree.

    Holy heck. I guess I do remember reading that in the changelogs - that is so cool, DM... I really wish I would have stuck with Sync and just customized it so much that it looked like my own.

    After learning more about Sync, I realize that even the [small] things I didn't like were likely able to customize out. [Simply like the 'this is a Synchronet BBS' login stuff...]

    Thank you for continuing to develop the most advanced BBS software there ever was.
