I can't find the source code either for the official MeshCore app or for MeshOS -- where can I read the code?

It's so weird right? I keep hearing people say it's open source but like... where's the code then? I've tried to find it. I can find stuff for core components, but they lock features behind a delay-wall in the app. If it was open source that stuff would be gone immediately.

The vibecoder was on MeshOS, which indeed is not open source

That's the board firmware, not the official Meshcore Android or IOS app.

I admit it was a super meta-funny response, because everyone I see that's into meshcore thinks it's open source because of that repository and posts it after a 30 second google search when questioned.

Then you ask them to actually find a source file for the apps and they go quiet. It's wild how much it looks like open source from a casual glance.
