Thanks for the clarity about whats on hold and what you're focusing on. Keep up the great work! 💪

Great stuff!
Really hope P2P comes back at some point.

[@mikestaub]

Fantastic!

[@CapnSnackbeard]

Would love to hear about Meshtastic integration! Thank you so much for your work!

[@MarkConstable]

Terrible audio.

[@Matrixdotorg]

sorry; that's just the mic in the room (combined with the echo from the PA) - nothing we can do about it.

[@JivanPal]

It's definitely quiet, but it's legible if you crank up the volume enough. Perhaps deserves volume normalisation and a reupload?
