Luckily things are not that bad (yet)! SMS texts were working during the last protest (NOT the July ones which eventually led to the resignation of the Education minister) and Supreme court has directed that internet facilities shall remain unhindered amid the ongoing protests. So this does not have to be done within even a week or so. If you are willing to help though, it would be great to get in touch on Signal. Can I DM you?

hey! we did fork an existing project only. we didn't use briar because briar doesn't have the mesh capability, and also, it was WAY too unstable and will hinder wide adoption. if it's not adopted widely, it's basically useless.

bit chat was removed from both the app store and the play store and its latest release had a pretty big stability issue where it straight up crashes when you try to scan a qr to add someone. also it can't be shared offline like briar can. I don't know, i guess you all right, we just built this out of desperation because the mesh feature is the most necessary one which actually allows information to get OUT of protest sites and into the view of the internet.

and as of the last protests, removedat didn't have the talk over internet feature implemented at all.

and I mean, we're only just looking for guidance to make the most accessible and widely adoptable route for communication and organising. any help is definitely appreciated :)
