Identicons Closes #120. Part of #82. I pulled in the identicon code because there is no published library, and also because when I used it for Bote I ended up modifying the code somewhat for my purposes; I expect the same to happen here. I am not sure what information should be used to seed the identicon. I originally thought of using the public key, but that seemed to change the identicon every single page load (obviously the representation wasn't consistent). Then I tried using the `ContactId`, which was fine until I got to adding an identicon to `AuthorView`: activities that use it are only passed (via Intent) a name, not anything else. Hence `AuthorView` identicons are currently inconsistent with the contact list and conversations. See merge request !51
Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging tools such as email, Twitter or Telegram, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the Internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the Internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance.
