Hello Ricardo.

Thank you for updating us about your repeater build.
I take note that you are using Rattlegram codec at the moment.
Know that Ahmet contributed Ribbit codec as an evolution of Rattlegram and
that all characteristics were improved across the board.
Alex has been working on a PWA for almost 2 months and we are now working
on the App UX.
Ribbit 1.0 beta is getting closer to release. (We are not committed to any
date, it will be released when it's ready)

When released, we will direct you to our ORI GitHub where you will find
Ribbit codec and can update your build.

Ribbit will support message metadata, user profiles, geolocation and
r/channels.

Let's stay in touch.

Pierre W4CKX
