That's exactly what Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters are doing now, thanks to San Fransisco startup Bridgefy's Bluetooth-based messaging app. The protesters can communicate with each other — and the public — using no persistent managed network.And it's led to swift growth for Bridgefy: downloads are up almost 4,000% over the past 60 days, according to Apptopia estimates .The app can connect people via standard Bluetooth across an entire city, thanks to a mesh network.
That's clearly an ideal scenario for protesters who are trying to reach people but cannot use traditional SMS texting, email, or the undisputed uber-app of China: WeChat. All of them are monitored by the state.Koetsier: Tell me about the app ... what it's for, why you built it, and why most people use it.Bridgefy is a messaging app that works with or without Internet.
