My money is on p2p matrix. It doesn't solve the immediate case Bridgefy does yet (I think it expects to have an internet connection), but it does solve the 'we have to trust central services like signal and or have incredibly difficult ux' scenario somewhat. Metadata resistant to a point etc.

Cwtch.im (pronounced couch) is an app I'm looking closely at but doesn't seem to have much movement in terms of shipping new releases or getting it going in apks or Fdroid. But I keep any eye there too.

I can't wait to see more progress with p2p matrix. I hope there will be one flavor that will allow privacy/anonymity.

I mean I see the advantages of p2p for a more resilient network. Which is great when the internet is shut down but I also hope there will be some way to protect the people's identities.

You can forget about this one. With a name like that, it isn't going anywhere.

It might be popular in Britain. Cwtch is the one Welsh word that non-Welsh people know. A bit like craic.
