even if simpler on android, resource consumption is much more controlled than tox and so usable.
local contact addition by bluetooth only is a bit too strict.
i see the discussion about QR codes with direct exchange #117
but it seems it is also a direct contact
contact recommendation can be nice
but i would like a standard contact invitation by email, phone call, or sms.
i know this is less secure but for people we do not see regularly this is better than keeping with normal app.
maybe sharing an invitation key with any kind of prefered app is the easier thinghttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/187Implement I2P plugin2021-12-09T00:18:37Zstr4dImplement I2P plugin@akwizgran expressed a keen interest in this happening eventually.

The basic idea is to add I2P as a transport, so that contacts can choose to communicate over I2P if they wish. It should be similar to the Tor plugin, and will probably be easier to implement (because I2P has a native Java API).https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/110Account backups2023-03-04T16:19:41ZakwizgranAccount backupsMake it possible for the user to backup their Briar account to another device. The backup should use much stronger PBKDF parameters as it's likely to be stored insecurely and doesn't need to be decrypted quickly.Make it possible for the user to backup their Briar account to another device.

We can't distinguish a timeout from a wrong invitation code (entering the wrong code will cause a timeout), but we may be able to distinguish some other reasons, e.g. Bluetooth discoverability timing out.
