messaging app that works over Bluetooth mesh networks. No internet

So he's made a shitty version of Briar and crammed crypto into it?

Briar doesn’t have an iOS client an never will

This doesn’t have an android client 😀

Like I said, Briar is better

Interesting. I wonder why Briar won't have an iOS client?

I'm sure the background limitations are a big part, but I wonder if there's also limits to what they can do with bluetooth

In this context I think "crypto" means your message is encrypted across hops, not that you have to pay to send/receive messages.
