Spreading ButterBox Communication Widely with DeltaChat!

With our recent updates on ButterBox, we have implemented a huge step forward in both options for customization and inter-communication. Through our new setup wizard and admin panel, we allow anyone hosting a ButterBox to completely control and configure the available services. This includes changing the public wifi and hostname of the box, both visibly and over the local network. The important side effect of this is that we can now have multiple butterbox instances co-existing on a local area network.

Instead of just "butterbox.local" by itself, you can add additional boxes, perhaps whimsically named "breadbox.local", and "jambox.local"... you can really SPREAD out! Food puns aside, the ability to have multiple box instances connecting and communicating on a wide-range local area network (WiFi HaLow anyone?!) means there are more, new ways people can use ButterBoxes in the real world.
