hear me out: bitchat file / audio / video transfers between two devices directly via tor, no file storage service in between. so many cool things you could do with tor.

Wi-Fi direct would be very nice
It would be sweet if you could somehow have a user download bitch app from someone else's phone without being connected to the internet.

I don't receive notifications when my app is closed but on background and my wife send messages via bluetooth, is this intentional?

Thanks for building! 🚁👍🏻
Are you not talking about file transfer? Im talking about file transfer Its literally what you described, except actually has a chance of working because it doesnt use Tor lol
Tor is way more powerful than just a NAT traversal protocol of which there are dozens out there.
But thats literally what youre proposing to use it for in this product. Maybe youre unfamiliar with Tor, but it is NOT designed or optimized for file sharing. Its a whole thing lol Slapping Tor on something isnt a novel solution, and it would suck for all the reasons everybody knows it would: Tor is incredibly slow
