bitchat purple release now live on appstore: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bitchat-mesh/id6748219622

bitchat 1.2.0 (purple) shipping to testflight tonight. this enables mutual favorites to automatically switch to a nostr-based transport when one of them leaves the mesh. only for private messages for now using NIP-17. basically people can bitchat in person, favorite each other at that time, and then can continue the conversation if internet is available through nostr, from any distance. no need to input a npub or know anything about nostr. it just works. https://github.com/permissionlesstech/bitchat/pull/358
