I've seen it used by folks off-roading/overlanding for coms.

Gov/DoD/SpecOps use it to maintain radio connectivity with things like the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK).

Cool. I hadn't seen it or knew about it until this 2025 post.

Thanks for sharing. Hadn't heard of Kaplay. Loved how you broke-down your process.

I also enjoyed your pixel art tips for programmers.

I saw this car on Chicago Metra's UPN line: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_553

I was reverse commuting at the time and wondered what the hell the car was as it looked different than all the other modern cars. I imagine in its heyday it was probably a decent party back up to the North Shore.

Will Pat Needham get any Google Bux for finding this?
