Hopline 1.1

Hopline 1.1 — a proper chat app, ready for a crowd

New look. The chat now looks and feels like the messaging apps everyone already knows: warm wallpaper, green bubbles with time and ticks inside, coloured sender names, date chips, a pill input with a round send button. The ticks stay honest — ◷ waiting for a phone in range, ✓ on its way, ✓✓ when phones confirm (blue when everyone has it). Tap your own message to see who has it, by name.

Built for a crowd, not just a trek. In a small group every phone confirms every message. In a gathering of hundreds or thousands, phones automatically stop sending per-message receipts (that would be N² traffic) and slow their "I'm here" beacons from 30 s to 5 min, so the radios carry your words instead of overhead. Hop ceiling raised to 32; the People screen gets a search box in big groups.

Removed: the HELP button (sending a message does the same job better) and the weather request (Read a web page covers it).

Install: download Hopline.apk below and open it on the phone. Updating from 1.0 works in place.
