      It’s a network that’s form ad hoc between the devices that are within range of each other, typically using wifi connectivity. A mesh network doesn’t require cell service or internet access making it resilient to service shutdowns, and providing much better privacy since the data never hits the internet.

        How far can the devices be from each other on this app in order for the messages to work?

          Would be wifi range, but it’s a bit better than that because as long as there is a chain of devices that are all in range of each other the messages can still be routed. For example, if we have three people A, B, and C. As long as A is in range of B and C is also in range of B then A and C can still talk to each other without having to be in direct wifi range.
