    So he took a page from Apple, copied Firechat, and will offer it to users who use Apple products. Yeah, okay, nice, I’m in.

    Oh great, yet another secure messaging app.

    Getting people to move off Messenger or even WhatsApp is tricky enough already for to interview and resistance to change. But even when you can coax them to move, you then often end up in a debate about where to move to. Signal, Briar, Viber, whatever proprietary thing Apple is currently pushing, or the thousands of other options/apps. I guess we can just add this one to that long list.

    I mean…I guess thanks for the stepping off point? Android has the Briar Project, which couldn’t be distributed for iOS due to Apple’s license fuckery. I’m at least curious enough to look through this and see what they’ve done different.

    I think the most useless part of this is using BT only which has a range of what…40ft?
