Great work! I noticed on Graphene it crashes if approximate location is selected. What are the privacy issues of needing to turn on precise location service?

that's because of BLE, it requires location permissions (doesn't use gps though) I couldn't get it to discover any peers in graphene though, not sure what the issue is

it only took me half a day to port a *native* iOS app to *native* Android with AI. hardware stack I've never worked with (BLE) and I'm not even an Android dev. it would've required weeks of research if I attempted this just a year ago. devs who resist AI are so cooked 💀

I have zero sign of functionality at all. The app doesn't even notice if Bluetooth is deactivated, and 2 phones next to each other show zero sign of seeing each other in the app with both having Bluetooth activated

Another update might fix it for you like the 0.3 update fixed it for me But I didn't want to say that out loud because calle doesn't deserve any compliments right now

Cool. Are the messages protected in transit? Also, what's the range? Can I in South Africa message someone on the states? Will give it a spin
