In my most recent commit, I added a simple webserver that has two endpoints:

• Some static HTML+javascript served from /
• A POST target that takes latitude+longitude and sends them out via an APRS packet

The code ended up being fairly straightforward. It's certainly not amazing UX right now -- I really should add a button or something on the HTML page to trigger geolocation sending, as right now it just sends location when you load the page.

Ultimately I think it would be nice make an APRS web interface that would allow you to both send your current location and see the received location of others. (I would have the esp32 store these locations whenever it hears an APRS packet).

In iOS13, it looks like webapps saved to the home screen have the ability to execute code in the background, which is exciting: if we can access geolocation and XHR apis while backgrounded, we could periodically broadcast our location via APRS.

Unfortunately, there's still no way for a webapp (even one installed to the homes screen) to create push notifications on iOS. This means I still can't use a webapp for the PBBS functionality I want to add, where users would receive some sort of push notification when we detect a message for them, at least on iOS. I think the Android PWA ecosystem is much more full-featured.
