this app works so good for snowboarding in the mountains when your trying to find your friends on various lifts, as there isn’t any internet up there
that makes no sense, the range of bluetooth or wifi on a phone seems insufficient to communicate with people who are far enough away that you couldn’t find them in physical space. have you actually tried this or are you speaking hypothetically?
I think Briar is capable of relaying messages. As long as Briar users come into range at some point, messages will be exchanged.
I’d be interested in battery consumption issue.
This use case is valid I often find myself snowboarding and my friend wears black so we get lost even though at times were feet away from each other
Does the desktop version also have local connectivity through bluetooth or local wifi like the android app? Might be interesting to use at a base station to facilitate communication between multiple points in a line of sight wifi network… but then I guess you could just setup an XMPP or Matrix server to accomplish the same thing, I guess. Always liked Briar though.
What’s the best AUR package? Or should I be using .jar?
the jar would probably be the most convenient since the packages are probably still the same java application just bundled in a repo
about time
