FireChat was a tool for revolution. Then it disappeared.

With FireChat, people were free to communicate and coordinate with each other without the message having to first filter through someone's data center. Why did the app shut down without notice?

thank you! I remember hearing about this, and found *nothing* when I looked into it.

No one leaked the source code or anything? Are the team members living on private tropical islands, or dead?

did a bit more digging...

NewNode (now?) has a page about firechat: https://www.newnode.com/firechat
