I will investigate background behavior and add notifications
It needs nearby, GPS, notifications
It doesn't use GPS, but Bluetooth low energy requires that permission
Which phones?
my most starred repo on github is vibe-coded
chat apps can send ecash 👩🔬😎
I've built an NFC chat app that can send messages by tapping two phones to each other but I think it's enough for today
I can't get more bullish
the closest thing is firechat. meshtastic needs additional hardware.
8 hours later I actually know now how bitchat works (not every part yet but most of it). it's pretty nifty: every phone is a BLE server and a BLE client at the same time. the app optimistically connects to peers that it can find through a scan. all messages it receives are relayed to all other connections.
I've tried it with a chain of 4 phones each connecting to only their next peer and the message propagates like a lightning payment from one phone to another.
need to implement message chunking (the protocol already defines it but there's no working implementation lol. it's strange because an LLM came up with it but it didn't implement it on neither ios nor android
freaky
bitchat for android is now reliable af
I don't know how bad it is with battery, did some optimizations but I need testers ;)
I've ported bitchat to Android and it's interoperable with the iOS app by nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyehwumn8ghj7mnhvvh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7ctewe4xcetfd3khsvrpdsmk5vnsw96rydr3v4jrz73hvyu8xqpqsg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q8dzj6n

it's still a bit rough around the edges and there are a few bugs. issues and PRs welcome
I've fixed the android-to-android issues, it should now also work with graphene os. please try and report bugs.

does it relay across messages multiple device hops?
Follow packs may as well implement badges on the same site? nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgkwaehxw309a5xjum59ehx7um5wghxcctwvshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qrxnfk
Not that most people give a shit about badges but it seems to make total sense together (?)
I don't give a shit about badges either! 😂👍
you know that a self-published solution to QG or a TOE is a red flag indicator for mental illness right?

You're not competing against the machine. You're competing against humans that master the machine.
Much faster. I will never become 2x more efficient at hand-coding in my lifetime. However I've become multiple x faster vibe-coding within a few years simply because the tools are getting better, and we're just getting started.
