Cool that they made this. A little weird that it's for Android. Wouldn't it be better running on an always-connected server? EDIT: https://code.briarproject.or

EDIT: https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-mailbox https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-mailbox From the README right now it looks like they're open to it: "We want the mailbox to be as easy to deploy as possible. The target for this project will come as Android application since it will be easy to setup and besides a spare phone, no special hardware is required. Once this is done support for any hardware supporting Java (e.g. unix server, raspberry pi) could be added."
- myself248 3y agoLooks like it's already there: on https://briarproject.org/download-briar-mailbox/ https://briarproject.org/download-briar-mailbox/ it says > A command-line version of the Mailbox is also available when building from source (currently only on Linux x86_64).
