   I've posted my first work-in-progress code for Frozen BBS, my Meshtastic-based message board system.

   It is *super* early, as in it doesn’t even work yet. The database schema and rudimentary admin tool are in place, though, and in my opinion that’s a big chunk of getting this going.

     Any name similarity between this project and the Mastodon instead you're reading this toot from is purely coincidental.

     @tek@freeradical.zone sweet, I was wondering if you meant instance instead of "instead"

     @tek I'm excited to see the workers all called "snowmen" and controlled by a program called "elsa".

     Now there's a (half-implemented, junky) command line client that lets you read messages.

     As promised, user moderation is present from the beginning.

     And now you can post messages to Frozen BBS. I factored out all of the console commands into separate functions I can wire up to the Meshtastic client so that most of the code's shared.

     *It is not fancy*, but in a terminal window it looks an awful lot like calling into an old BBS if you squint at it just right.
