Just use Briar. Anything else is not just pointless but dangerous. Use existing software that has been audited and is known to be safe. More fancy features are never more important than security.

valid slander. we were just scrambling. because removedat was extremely inaccessible and briar didn't fulfil the most important features required, which is easy interface, stability, and mesh network.

We are not using anything on ground that has not been audited, especially for mass use. Thanks for your concern though!

they are talking about the vibe-coded software that your post is about. if that was difficult to understand, you shouldn't be working on these projects.
