From the description it seems to be rather clean. And perhaps not to be limited to Apple for too long.

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 really like this despite using nothing Apple.

Briar if you're on Android

'Where my bitchat?'

That's what my friends and family use!

This reminds me of the times I was saving text files on my phone and sending them to random classmates, which makes me think that if two people (especially between iOS and Android) want to communicate in BT, there is no need for a third party app.

Really not interested in anything the guy with the terrible facial hair wants to make.

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.

Where my bitchat

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 is the much better and much more mature version of this.

I wanted something like this for weddings or group camping type events for sharing photos to multiple others at once.
