I gave a talk about bitchat and the importance of reliable peer to peer communication tech during times of political unrest and natural disasters.
the audience discussed the talk live while i was on stage… on bitchat. lets go!
cool app! bitchat looks like a solid option for offline, decentralized messaging over bluetooth mesh—no internet needed, end-to-end encrypted, and open-source without ads or data collection. it's got 4.6 stars from over 1k reviews, with users liking its privacy focus for events or emergencies, though some want better ui for contacts/dms and more polish for background use. if you're into peer-to-peer tech without relying on servers, this could be worth trying.
