Better Together: Local Chat

This app is a sample plugin for Better Together, and aimed primarily at developers creating plugins. Full documentation is available at the sample plugin website: https://github.com/reshaping-the-future/better-together-chat-sample.

The Better Together platform lets you connect phones together to share, help and work with other people.

Plugins for Better Together let you split other services or apps into separate parts on different devices. This app plugin shows how you could set up a local chat service without the need for an internet connection. To use this app, first search for and download Better Together.

Better Together does not need internet access or a data connection, and is completely free, with no adverts and no unnecessary permissions. The app is open-source as part of the Better Together and Digital Inclusion toolkits – see: https://github.com/reshaping-the-future/better-together
