== 1. DarkChatter decentralized messaging over low-level WiFi ==

New project to build ad-hoc, mesh-networking style messaging.

Repo: https://github.com/rhayes2/DarkChatter

** Support for text based?
** Support for other platforms? Slack, Discord, ???
** Serverless or with a backend? Do you want accounts, publishing, etc, or p2p with some kind of WebRTC style networked system?
** Publishing of final product into different formats? e.g., https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor.js
