Great stuff but will it really scale? See secushare.org/2011-FSW-Scalability-Paranoia Did anyone try to save Nightweb's data directory encrypted in Dropbox or ownCloud? Would it be possible to add something like a reply option to a post? This would give us twitteresque chat. Would love to be able to share posts with certain persons only. PS: Can someone provide a download link for those avoiding Google Play? TIA

You can already reply to posts. Just hit the new post button when viewing a post, and your post will link back to it.

I'm considering adding an APK download link, but my site doesn't use SSL so I didn't feel comfortable doing it there.

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...

You wanna get things done in Clojure, you're gonna have to touch Java sooner rather than later.

On the other hand, I didn't actually learn Java. Knowing C++ and reading documentation seems to be sufficient for using Java libraries with Clojure.

This app is pretty well polished and from an ideological standpoint very awesome.

If you have any feedback/requests for I2P, I'm sure that zzz would be very interested since he did all of the I2P@Android work. Catch him on zzz.i2p or #i2p-dev on the I2P irc net.

Have you considered Cjdns, an alternative to I2P that does not require the internet?

I wouldn't say it's an alternative, because CJDNS and I2P operate at different levels of the stack. In other words, you could theoretically run I2P on top of CJDNS. I like the project very much, though integration into Nightweb isn't likely because it requires the creation of a TUN device, which is a kernel-level facility and thus requires root permissions.

Yep I've spoken with him a few times on his forum. I announced Nightweb there a week ago but I don't think I ever got any replies. I am definitely willing to incorporate any changes he suggests, as he knows the I2P codebase as well as anyone.

awesome thought behind this, I downloaded the app but it crashed. How do I find my public key?

1) I dont see how this is anonymous. My cellphone carrier or my home wifi (via my phone) will track the data. Tor is trackable. Why I can see how this may add a layer or anonymity I fail to see how it is completely anonymous.

2) gw, why would you attach your name to this? aren't you putting yourself at risk?
