This is so cool. It makes me want to switch to Android just to use it. Any thoughts on a desktop client?
How does the protocol differ from, say, tent.io?
Just in case anyone has the same issue: on my device (Nexus 4) it took a while for the UI to become responsive when first opening the app. Patience solved this one :)

Exactly, I've been both wanting to learn Clojure and develop for Android (but no Java thanks) for a while. So here's mine http://nightweb.net/#type=user&userhash=dtvjjjuk7eai42xx...

Why do you say it's a "killer app" for Android? I think it's a great idea, but it does not use the fact that it lives on a mobile phone, so it's certainly not a killer app for it. Can we haz a desktop or web version?

Sorry about the non-responsive loading, I will work on that in the future.

For a web version to be fully distributed it would need to be run on a server, so people would have to hook up a RaspberryPi at home, rent a VPS or trust some big Nightweb farm (the diaspora model). It's infinitely easier for most users to just install an app on their phone.
A Desktop version would probably not be "always on", which would limit the usability as a social platform seriously.

Thanks very much. By the way, currently clicking the link in a browser doesn't seem to bring up the intent chooser to open it in the Nightweb app. I'll try to fix that today. In the meantime, the workaround is to email or text the link to yourself, and click it from there instead. Yeah I've thought about allowing multiple users on a single device, so I'll look into that in the near future. EDIT: I fixed the issue wit…
you should define a separate namespace for users/posts, like a subdomain or path, for the app, right now the browser is confused when opening the homepage
I have been waiting for this. Here's my Nightweb link for anyone interested in experimenting with me: http://nightweb.net/#type=user&userhash=5avfzwgkdzgddsv3... gw: It would be great to have multiple personas available to me, like an inverse of google+ circles.

I only saw this on their website: > The goal of Nightweb is to be a "killer app" > for anonymous networking
It suggests me to share my profile and posts with others(with rest of sharing apps like Twitter). How am I anonymous then?
Besides, after installing the app and creating a profile - I just had to enter a name, how do I make first contact? I searched and it didn't work.
Looks like there's sth that I am not doing right.. ?
