Meshtastic is an off grid mesh network of small LoRa radios. CRASH Space runs a node, and Maptastic shows what it sees: node positions across Los Angeles, coverage, hop topology and packet activity.

It is a Vite and TypeScript app split into embeddable pieces, so the WordPress site can show just what it needs: the full app with the map, activity and node detail, a map only widget, an activity table with a chart, and a small status badge that lights up when the node transmits. Each one is configured through URL parameters.
