Jack Dorsey, most famous for co-founding Twitter (now X) all the way back in 2006, is cooking up a different way to connect people. It's a peer-to-peer mesh-network-based messaging app that lets you chat with people over Bluetooth, no internet access required.
Dorsey said on X that he put together a basic version of the app, called Bitchat, over the past weekend as a way to learn about a bundle of technologies that power mesh-based services. The big deal here is that Bitchat is completely decentralized, with no servers to store messages.
The app will function similar to a 36-year-old messaging system called IRC (Internet Relay Chat), in the sense that you can either converse with others in topic-based chat rooms, or privately message people directly.
