bitchat now act like a walkie-talkie! • push-to-talk voice — hold the mic to talk live, in private chats and in the public mesh channel. voice streams while you speak; if the other side misses it, it lands as a voice note. • mesh bridging — separate mesh pockets in the same area now find each other. when anyone nearby has internet, flipping the single "mesh bridge" switch lets their phone carry chat between islands — plus sealed private messages for people who are offline right now. every bridged message is signed by its sender, so nothing leaves the radio without consent, and a per-message toggle keeps anything you want nearby-only. • a livelier quiet mesh — see hints of recent conversations nearby, wave to say hi, leave a note for whoever passes by later with /drop, and watch the radar sweep for activity around you. • messages that never give up — writing to someone who just walked out of range? the message now waits, rides along with people passing by, or slips across the bridge — and shows a little parcel while it travels — instead of failing. • settings, tidied — info and settings now live together: appearance, voice, connectivity, and location access in one panel. • faster location channels — nearby notes and channels load quicker, with honest connecting states instead of endless spinners. also fixed: received photos stuck as a grey box, the mic dying on press-and-hold in private chats, ghost duplicates when a nearby device renews its identity, and clearer offline icons in chat headers.
