Briar is a messaging app designed to be used by groups of people to allow for secure and censorship resistant communications.

This technically isn’t self hosted in the strictest sense but I think it is still relevant.

    Right, but you have to be so close to each other for Bluetooth to work, so it seems very limited in utility. But of course, data exchange in person would be one thing.

      Bluetooth has a pretty significant range, especially outdoors. So you might be watching something on the stage while a friend or family member is 300 feet away at a concession stand.

        That’s pretty far, that makes it better I guess. Like you could send messages across buildings if you have line of sight e.g. That’s neat.
