Description

Repeater-START is an open source application to list nearby amateur radio repeaters.

With the Librem phone and Pinephone coming up, I was wondering why all the well known repeater apps are only iOS or Android... so I built a Linux version for phone/desktop.

During this build I wrote up a 7 part posting on how I built this app:
