The beauty of helium is that it didn't exist, then two years later, it exists everywhere, covering most of the western world. People don't "agree" with how it got there: guess what, all other attempts to do the same have utterly failed.

The data is so cheap that it enables fantastic new applications like yours. Don't stop building. There are many people (not on HN) cheering for you.

Nah. There was a period about 20 years ago where there was pervasive public Wi-Fi that provided full coverage of virtually every sufficiently dense urban area. Then people started locked down their hotspots, and within 2-3 years that was the end of that. Nice while it lasted though; thank god the advent of speedy cellular wasn’t too far around the corner.

the problem is that battery consumption. of course there are alterantives, but all of them need WAY more power than LORA

[delabay]

Nah, bad example. Not ubiquitous enough. Nice try

The ends don't justify the scamming.

thank you for that kind words, means a lot. i am not selling a lot and the whole development process was part of the journey for me. i also think that one should just try to build stuff, even if it is only helping a small amount of people.
