Neat, seems like a good way to build a flipper like experience with different utility apps. What is the "chat" app using for sending messages? Something local like BT/Esp now? Or a longer range platform like Meshtastic?

Seems to be using ESP now: https://github.com/ByteWelder/Tactility/blob/main/Tactility/...

I think this device is begging for an IRC client though.

I was writing that app together with the author, the communication is using ESPnow at the moment, albeit Tactility is running on devices with LoRa so it isn't that difficult to extend for LoRa.

Also contributor to Tactility, there's a pull request for a LoRa chat app with (I believe) Meshtastic support. https://github.com/ByteWelder/Tactility/issues/342

Very good. I guess will give a new look over there soon to try out the novelties.
