I recently discovered the existence of Firechat when I heard that it was being used by thousands of protester during the ongoing "Umbrella Revolution" in Hong Kong. Firechat is said to be a messaging app which, unlike whatsapp wechat or TextSecure, can communicate from one device to another directly, without using any existing Internet connection.
Wireless has so much more to offer than just being a bridge to the Internet, especially right now where it is being more and more monitored. Wireless mesh networks offer an exiting alternative: a wild, disruptive and uncontrollable network. I love mesh network so I really wanted to know more about the Firechat app.
