Hello
I'm kind of a little bit excited about the MQTT support in synchronet 3.20.
When I was working on Magicka, I added MQTT support to the BBS and wrote a QT application to monitor the nodes on my desktop (another computer from the bbs).
I was thinking about making a similar program for synchronet, but am wondering if anyone else is working on this sort of thing, or if something similar already exists?
I know the MQTT stuff in synchronet is a lot more detailed than what I did in magicka, but to start with I was thinking of just having a list of nodes with the status in them, and going from there.
Synchronet control panel (sbbsctrl) for Windows. But when attempting (in QT) to recreate the same 4-main panel docksite interface we have to today in sbbsctrl, I wasn't successful. I do plan to take another stab at that in the future. Also considering using wxWidgets.

week. (esp8266 remote control project) It works really nicely and is reliable... so you're using it to notify you or update some page for what nodes are active???
Just wondering what uses MQTT on a BBS might be.
I've used wxWidgets in the past (it has been a while). I've heard a lot of people say they like Qt though (although I haven't used Qt myself). I thought wxWidgets was pretty good. I had used CodeBlocks at one point to help put together a UI, but that was around 2004-2005, and there may be better tools these days.
I was thinking QT myself for a future cross-platform replacement for the Synchronet control panel (sbbsctrl) for Windows. But when attempting (in QT) to recreate the same 4-main panel docksite interface we have to today in sbbsctrl, I wasn't successful. I do plan to take another stab at that in the future. Also considering using wxWidgets.

Sort of, I'm using it to show me what nodes are active in a gui application, but you could easily do it on a web page too. (Essentially what the gui application that comes with does, except this one doesn't have to run on the same machine)
Synchronet doesn't just publish messages though it recevives them too,
so you can potentially remote control your SBBS via MQTT messages.
You can even nodespy with it.. it's really cool.

Has anyone thought about adding some kind of MQTT support to Synchronet? Maybe echicken? :)

My thinking was for interfacing with meshtastic, so maybe just email
or interbbs messaging. Regular messages might often be too big. I
suppose email would be, too, with quoting and such.

MQTT supported was one of the big features added in v3.20 in January of this year.

Holy heck. I guess I do remember reading that in the changelogs -
that is so cool, DM... I really wish I would have stuck with Sync and
just customized it so much that it looked like my own.
After learning more about Sync, I realize that even the [small]
things I didn't like were likely able to customize out. [Simply like
the 'this is a Synchronet BBS' login stuff...]
Thank you for continuing to develop the most advanced BBS software
there ever was.

Or, last year, even? ;-)

The first official release with MQTT support was this year. The
previous release (v3.19) did not support MQTT.

This is my node-red control panel for synchronet using mqtt.

I use text to speech to announce when a new user account is created,
but not between 11pm and 7am.
