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 tools such as email, Twitter or Telegram, 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.

Try harder to connect to contacts * When an outgoing connection is lost, try to reconnect to the contact straight away * Use periodic polling for Tor, regardless of whether our hidden service descriptor has been published * Reduce polling intervals for all plugins (this can be reverted if we solve the connectivity issues) Closes #262, #314. Hopefully helps with #361. See merge request !177
