@verretor how many people use it?
@LadyAnarki I don't know.
🇨🇦
@verretor @LadyAnarki briar ux is dumpsterfire bad. synchronous: requires both parties to be online and connected to chat. Basically useless.
@jb55 @verretor @LadyAnarki heh, just like every old-school chat app...
@verretor @jb55 @LadyAnarki Similar to Scuttlebutt then.
@pete @jb55 @LadyAnarki Scuttlebutt does that? Have you heard of Nostr? https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr
@verretor @jb55 @LadyAnarki I've read that exactly document. Haven't looked into it beyond that.
@verretor @pete @LadyAnarki last time I tried it it was like that, maybe it’s been upgraded
@verretor @pete @jb55 @LadyAnarki only way of using it asynchronously is having a 3rd user be part of the conversation.
Honestly that’s unusable as it exists now.
I’m working on something else: a protocol for secure communication via untrusted server(s). Not sure when it will be usable as a PoC much less for everyday use
@lucash_dev @pete @jb55 @LadyAnarki Do you have some documentation?
@verretor @pete @jb55 @LadyAnarki https://github.com/lucash-dev/graffiti-paper
Very rough first draft of the general idea
@pete @verretor @LadyAnarki yes I guess this is irc as well :p. Feels even more useless when it’s one to one though.
@jb55 @pete @LadyAnarki Except it's not just one on one. You have DMs, private groups, forums and blogs.
@verretor @pete @LadyAnarki hmm guess it has been updated. Was really bad when I tried it. Will have to check it out again.
@jb55 @pete @LadyAnarki Blogs are not so great but Telegram doesn't have blogs at all so it's a plus.
@verretor @jb55 @pete @LadyAnarki do any of you use briar on a regular basis? Does it work consistently? Also is it useful even if there are zero peers in your area?
@CryptoActually @jb55 @pete @LadyAnarki I only installed it this morning.
@pete @jb55 @LadyAnarki @verretor @LadyAnarki "requires both parties to be online and connected to chat."
Actually, no.
