Message queues. #266 A message queue is a group shared by two devices that delivers messages from each device to the other in order. The first 64 bits of the message body contain a sequence number that's incremented for each message sent in a given direction. The incoming and outgoing sequence numbers and information about any messages received out of order and waiting to be delivered are stored in the group metadata. See merge request !121
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.
