“Off the grid”... but only offering an app for the Google person-tracking platform (Android)...?

  It's also available via the “DAT Installer”. The DAT link is dat://520a00daf0a309bef7722b3f3338854e9da667d01e48dc7b83b118d86354d6d3 The DAT Installer is here: https://github.com/staltz/dat-installer https://github.com/staltz/dat-installer

    So, only offering an app for Android. :)

      You do realize these things take significant time to develop, right?

        Sure, but the OP was pointing out (albeit somewhat snarkily) that this was only available for Android. The post I responded to said, more or less, "The Android version is also available from this other installer!", which may be good information but isn't really relevant. (Also, this project does look like it's been going on since mid-2014, so I'm not entirely convinced the lack of an iOS client is due to a lack of time. A lack of available/interested iOS developers seems more likely.)

          Perhaps I misunderstood OP, but I thought he was pointing out the irony that the author is offereing an off-grid and offline-first app through a highly centralized outlet. I was merely pointing out that the app is also installable via the DAT installer, which is fully decentralized so that the app is also available for degoogled phones.

  There are several desktop apps for the scuttlebutt protocol also...this is just the first mobile app.
