v0.1.0 — first PyPI release
First release of bitchat-cli on PyPI 🎉
A Python CLI port of bitchat — serverless peer-to-peer public chat over a Bluetooth LE mesh, wire-compatible with the bitchat app.
Install
```bash
pip install bitchat-cli
bitchat-cli # or: bitchat
```
Highlights
- Public/broadcast text chat, interoperable one hop with a real bitchat phone in range.
- Media support: send and receive images, voice notes, and generic files (
/send <path>); received media is saved to~/.bitchat/downloads/and auto-opened. - Ed25519-signed packets, PKCS#7 padding, and fragment reassembly matching the upstream wire format.
Notes
bleakis central-only, so this client is not discoverable when idle and does not relay in the multi-hop mesh.- Private (Noise-encrypted) messaging is out of scope.
