Description
When a new node is discovered, it is possible to see its shortname, longname, location, ...
Some people add icons in their long name (maybe this could be standardised) to show if the node is powered by a charger or solar, whether or not the node is connected to mqtt, ...
The information that can be shared with the short and long names are limited, as they should be. It would be nice to be able to receive more elaborate information about a node on request only.
How I would see this:
In the app, when a node has been discovered, in the node list under 'more details'. There should be a button: 'Request node description'. The node requests the discription of the discovered node. Then the button changes into 2 buttons. 'View node description' and 'Update node description'.
The node description could be as follows:
"Hello, this node is owned by xyz, it is solar powered and not connected to mqtt. The antenna is a 5dbi omni at 8 meters above ground"
Some technicalities:
I'm not sure where is long discription information should be stored. Is there enought space in the nodes memory? Shoud it only be kept in the app?
Should node C also save the node description of B when A requests B's description?
