RE: The MMDVM-TNC. Fantastic news! Can't wait to try it out.
I could see someone releasing a generic Pi image (now that they're back in production) that will allow a simple setup for hams to hang an MMDVM-TNC "communicator" on their home network accessible with a web browser. Chat, mailbox, and simple file transfers, along with CAT control (when possible) and push notifications to the home network side. Maybe even digipeating, cross band/uplinking, and mesh networking to help build out a network.
Some of what you're imagining already exists when you build a TARPN node - https://tarpn.net/t/builders.html as it includes turnkey software for a RPi, NinoTNC, and a lot of well-integrated software such as a G8BPQ node.
But agreed - the MMDVM-TNC and this new mode takes it to a new level.
Since /r/HamRadio was pluggest in ZR #113, let me also plug /r/amateurradio. /r/amateurradio has more than 124,000 members, and as you can imagine, the discussions are incredibly wide-ranging. I've learned quite a lot myself over the past couple of years as a result of my participation in this subreddit.

Dan - noted and now /r/amateurradio is listed alongside /r/HamRadio.
