nostr wins if it stops trying to be a twitter clone and starts being the invisible layer underneath apps you actually want to use. like bitchat for location-based messaging, diVine for entertainment, whitenoise for private messaging, zap.stream for streaming, shakespeare for vibe coding, etc.
it wins by unbundling into 50 different apps that all talk to each other, rather than one giant app/corp that traps you. it's all about the ecosystem.

bitchat now uses georelays for geohash chats. uses the 5 known relays closest to any given geohash. helps with latency and makes spam more difficult. and further decentralizes chat.
in app store now (1.3.2). android play store version does the same.

migrating to georelays on bitchat. find the closest relays for any one geohash and use them instead of the big default ones.
https://github.com/permissionlesstech/bitchat/tree/feat/georelay
hopefully this will inspire more relay ops to accept kind 20000 and better distribute relays globally (we need more smaller ones).

bitchat 1.2.0 (purple) shipping to testflight tonight.
this enables mutual favorites to automatically switch to a nostr-based transport when one of them leaves the mesh. only for private messages for now using NIP-17.
basically people can bitchat in person, favorite each other at that time, and then can continue the conversation if internet is available through nostr, from any distance. no need to input a npub or know anything about nostr. it just works.
