It a new wave🔥🔥high signal
I tried it, it's fun. But I wonder: what would its daily use be? Barring some catastrophe, who uses it every day?
How is Threads number 1?
Ew, you downloaded Threads. 🤣
It has something like 1 million new daily users 🤷♂️
the era of vibe coded apps to prod is here
This is the way..

I guess the entire point of this is that ultimately you end up with a mesh network communication system that can't be turned off because people already have these devices in their hands, right? So it doesn't matter if you lose network connectivity. This is about experimenting with getting mobile phones set up as mesh network nodes.
Probably teens (groups of teens), co-workers maybe, or anyone in a high density area like Tokyo. Perhaps as a fun way to chat in a cafe with a total stranger.
How much battery does it consume to relay messages
Cool 
No Twitter
Bitchat is number 3 in Germany 💥

Cant find it on androids app store. Is it geo-restricted to download?
🧡🧡
proof of mind control whenever jack says jump. 🤙🏾
Downloaded, but no one around to chat with...
Don’t think so. But I am not sure if it’s in google store. I recall calle was working on it
This is why I’m not downloading it
Threads is 1? Makes no sense. Haven’t heard of a single person that uses that app.
And yet I have not been able to send one message 😂
Could see how this would be critical in countries with poor internet or in war like environments. Communicating with each other would be critical with or without internet
I still can’t find any one on it thou
in a day?? wow
Nostr has the potential to replace all nine of those top apps. Keep building, keep growing, stay humble.
That's because of the incredibly short range. I thought very seriously about trying to set it up on my computer so that I could leave it running at all times as a relay. But that turned out to be a total pain in the ass, so I gave up on the idea. My thought was my computer hosts my Monero node and so is on all the time anyway. I might as well run a bitchat relay on it in order to improve the network. But compiling software was my downfall.
Which is exactly why you should download it. The more people who have it, the more likely somebody is to be using it.
I have it on my device as a just-in-case measure, and so if somebody needs it without internet access, I can just send it to them via the APK file.
I don't think it's on the Google shit store yet, but you can pull it from here.

Basically, yes, #Meshtastic actually has much higher range, but you have to buy another device and carry it with you, where this uses the device you currently already own.
And yet, unless it works with or cooperates with Bridgefy, it will not stick, I fear.

I see your logic but I have enough chat apps no one uses
Fair enough, I was going to run it on the computer with my Monero node, since it is always on, but I had serious trouble compiling it, so I'll have to wait for an actual executable.
Do you just, like, wait for someone to be in range(?)

Why is it so hard for the sheep to understand Signal is better than WhatsApp and Telegram combined? The user experience is almost identical to WhatsApp, no excuse not to switch. Breaks my heart SIgnal isn't even in the top 10.

as X now gets classified as a “news” app and thus implies it needs an editor, it is nice to see @jack still working on improving “social networking applications, protocols, etc.” missionary mode.
lol same
Its a news app now
Nostr is the last defence against censorship and surveillence.
we need to socialize Nostr by introducing to many , i would suggest to have space on X so we can have more on boarding
Seems to use hardly any from what I’ve seen today
would be super cool if it allows to send nostr messages over BLE and optionally send message online if that fails
Oh, thanks. Set up your lightning wallet 👍
Someone could make an open source tinder clone using the same principle. You date and see who is nearby, except they are actually nearby and theres no mega corp behind it.
This whole list pisses me off. 😑
Bitchat is on the leaderboard
