Mesh Networks like that for direct communications were all the rage during the Arab Spring uprisings and played a part in protest marches in the period between 2015 and 2020. Most of the apps slowly died because they required updates and the state started hounding the programmers. Having something like that come up from the grassroots fully supported by Nostr developers would be a major game changer.
