* Share Briar offline: From within the app you can share the app to others who don't have it installed
* useful during internet shutdown and natural disasters to bootstrap Briar connectivity in a community if at least one device has Briar already
* uses a wifi hotspot that offers a download of briar to other devices
* Connect via removable drives
* Android phones can use SD cards or flash drives (usually via adapters) to store data
* Briar makes use of that capability to store encrypted messages that can be physically transported to the recipient and imported and decrypted there.
* Messages delivered this way arrive just like they would over WiFi, Bluetooth or Tor.
* RFC 1149 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers
* https://grobox.de/presentations/2017-12-30_Briar_at_34c3.html#/24
Already released (in 1.3.x):
* connecting via bluetooth (if not working automatically): New Android devices limit Bluetooth use for privacy which requires going through this new connecting feature once to make connections via bluetooth work at all and automatically from there onhttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/website/-/issues/22Add favicon to website2021-03-04T10:22:57ZCleopatraAdd favicon to websiteIt'll be nice to see the Briar logo on the browser tab.

This should be as easy as adding the following withing the `head`:
```
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="link-to-favicon.ico">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="link-to-favicon.png">
```
While doing this, change the `title` from "Secure messaging, anywhere - Briar" to "Briar - Secure messaging, anywhere".CleopatraCleopatrahttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/website/-/issues/24Add RSS feed to briarproject.org/news2020-11-19T10:09:13ZbafoobarAdd RSS feed to briarproject.org/newsIt would be nice to be able to receive news from briarproject.org via briar itself using the RSS component. :)

## Briar forum
* Requires Briar/not available through browser
## Discourse (software of Kontalk's and F-Droid's forum)
* Requires JavaScript
* Really easy to install and maintain, it's basically just some Git with Docker
* Amazing piece of software :slight_smile:
## Own category in F-Droid's forum
* Same pro/cons like above (Discourse)
* Dependency on other project
* Need to get the OK from all F-Droid staff
F-Droid's forum is about F-Droid and _FOSS on Android in general_, and Briar is a FOSS app on Android, so there's some overlap. Note that I'm one of the admins of F-Droid's forum.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/website/-/issues/2Merge briar-manual into website2020-09-11T13:45:58ZNicoMerge briar-manual into website[Briar's User Manual](https://briarproject.org/manual/) is currently in a [separate repo](https://code.briarproject.org/akwizgran/briar-manual), although it's part of the website.
