Nostr Web Client

Couldn’t find any online, so i made some basic #bitchat directions for grandmas and grandkids

What is Bitchat?

Bitchat is different from other chat apps. You can use Bitchat to talk to people who are close to you (like in the same room, park, airplane, campsite, or festival). This app does not need Wi-Fi, internet, or cellular data. It uses Bluetooth to send messages.

How to get Started

Download the app from the App Store (Bitchat Mesh)

When you open the app, your phone will ask to use Bluetooth. You must tap 'OK' for the app to work.

How to Talk to Everyone (The Public Chat)

When you first open the app, you are in The Public Chat. Your username is at the top left. The public chat is called #mesh. Everyone nearby can see messages here.

How to Talk to One Person (The Private Chat)

To see who is nearby, tap the 'people' button at the top. Tap on a person's name from the list. This will open a new, private chat. Only you and that person can see these messages.

Yeah i’m thinking if you are traveling with your fam you could use these to onboard multiple people at the same time

as in: thank you so much for the writeup but it is really incomplete as far as addressing literacy and comfort navigating

nostr in general has so many links to so many things it is really overwhelming to keep it straight

i dont have a laptop

i am only a mobile person and not a tech person and a millennial (basically a boomer) so i feel like im a good test user case

especially cos im low on patience and not trying to impress anyone like wow after great struggle all alone i got it solved and so not sitting down for 20 minutes with something cos that is unreasonable to ask a test case
