A simple web based [LXMF](https://github.com/markqvist/lxmf) client for [Reticulum](https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum).
## Features

- Supports receiving images sent from Sideband.
- Supports receiving file attachments sent from Sideband.
## How does it work?
- A python script (`web.py`) runs a Reticulum instance and a WebSocket server.
- The web page sends and receives lxmf packets encoded in json via the WebSocket.
- Web Browser -> WebSocket -> Python Reticulum -> (configured interfaces) -> (destination)
