  • It’s still being actively developed. There’s been multiple releases in just the last few weeks and all through the year. He’s just not posting immediately to github as he’s built-in git support over the reticulum network [0] and it seems that’s his primary way of releasing source updates.

    Once you have rns installed [1] (and configured to connect to the broader network) you can run the following command to get the latest source files:

    # From the 1.3.4 release notes [0]
    rngit release rns://7649a50d84610232d1416b41d2896aff/reticulum/reticulum fetch latest:all --signer bc7291552be7a58f361522990465165c
    

    That said, rns is mostly feature complete. Now its up to others to built tools/apps on top of the network. For anyone not aware, here’s some apps/tools to try/check out:

    • Columba: Modern Android app that supports browsing nomadnet pages and chat.
    • Nomad Network: Browse nomadnet pages, chat, group chat, host nomadnet pages, etc.
    • Retipedia: Serve up wiki pages.
    • Sideband: Swiss-army knife reticulum network Android app.
    • MeshChatX: (appears to be down right now) - A GUI-oriented alternative to nomad network.
    • rBrowser: Browse nomadnet pages.
    • LXST Phone: - Make calls over rns!

    Lastly, for anyone still reading, there’s a few ports being developed that are compatible with the python implementation:
