+    <p>
+      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 apps, 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.
