Be sad to see it go. I use it most days for basic tracking and quick coverage checks. God forbid a new TTN gateway appears — it’s one of the few ways to spot changes now. Unfortunately we’ve lost around 90% of our local gateways in the last two years. TI have been more than happy to lean on my gateways for over a decade, but sadly they don’t return the favour. It’s one of several reasons things are slowly disappearing.
I’ll also add that the constant negative tone on here towards anyone who isn’t 100% on-message (given TI pay for the forum, yes we know this — banging on about it takes the joy out of living) has not helped. It’s pushed people away from what used to be a small but enthusiastic IoT space. I know I could have — and would have — contributed more myself, but the tone has changed, sadly. I did try to raise the matter with the admins, but it was simply ignored.
For my part, I’ve not given up. Only this week I’ve opened a dialogue with the local university about restoring their publicly funded TTN infrastructure, with the hope of supporting local startups.
Losing TTN Mapper would be a real shame and yet another signal of where things are heading.
