Joey Hess comes to mind. He writes of projects in his blog, though items aren't specifically tagged.

There's a fairly big community of offgrid devs on scuttlebutt. Which makes perfect sense, given that the whole protocol/application was written for that use case :)

EDIT:

A very noisy overview of said community (with loads of un-/subscribe spam and such) is here: https://viewer.heropunch.io/channel/offgrid?showAll

Ah yes - this is in part what inspired me. I love the SSB team and what they’re doing. I’ll check out that link and maybe stop being a lurker and join in, lol.

Thanks for comment
