?? Crisis Mesh Messenger - Initial Release

This is the first public release of Crisis Mesh Messenger - an infrastructure-free messaging application designed for crisis situations when traditional communication fails.

?? The Problem We're Solving

When disaster strikes, war breaks out, or censorship blocks communication:

  • ? Cell towers are destroyed or disabled
  • ? Internet connections are cut
  • ? Families and communities are isolated
  • ? Emergency coordination becomes impossible

Crisis Mesh solves this by enabling device-to-device communication without any infrastructure.

? What's Included in v0.1.0

Complete Application Foundation

  • ?? Beautiful UI with Material Design 3
    • Home screen with conversation list
    • Full-featured chat interface
    • Network status monitoring
  • ?? Local Storage with Hive database
  • ??? Solid Architecture - MVVM with Provider/GetIt
  • ?? Platform Support - Android and iOS configurations
  • ?? Simulated Mesh - Proof of concept networking

Documentation

  • ?? Complete setup and development guides
  • ?? Contributing guidelines
  • ?? MIT License with humanitarian clause
  • ?? GitHub issue templates

Code Statistics

  • 40 files
  • 5,921 lines of code
  • Production-ready architecture

?? Current Status: Proof of Concept

This release demonstrates the vision and architecture, but mesh networking is simulated.

? Working Now

  • Complete UI/UX flow
  • Message and conversation management
  • Local data persistence
  • Service architecture
  • Cross-platform structure

?? Not Yet Implemented

  • Real Bluetooth/WiFi device discovery
  • Actual device-to-device communication
  • Message routing protocols
  • End-to-end encryption
  • Multi-hop message relay

?? Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Flutter SDK 3.29+
  • Android Studio or Xcode
  • Git

?? Vision

Imagine a world where communication can't be cut off. Where:

  • ???? Ukrainians stay connected despite infrastructure attacks
  • ?? Disaster victims can call for help
  • ?? Protesters can't be silenced
