This talk will give some insights into user stories, features, and development of the Internet independent messenger qaul.
qaul was developed with communities that cannot use Internet-based communication platforms due to Internet shutdowns, lack of connectivity and poor infrastructure, or due to surveillance and censorship.
Resilient grassroots communication infrastructures - such as community wireless meshnetworks - need applications and protocols to realize their potential. qaul is particularly suited for this, and also provides concepts for user discovery within networks and areas. All communication is P2P and encrypted. The qaul routing protocol meshes devices together and even enables delay tolerant messaging.
The use shall be as easy, user friendly and secure as with the well known Internet-based messengers.

We can replace the operating system of an Android phone when we have the necessary hardware drivers. Using NixOS as the operating system allows us to reliably recompile most of the modern software that we rely on for the mobile operating system to get the benefits of using real applications instead of just the limited capabilities of mobile apps.
