The first mobile application for the Locha Mesh. The aim is to build an app for communication using text messages, images, documents or voice notes, and also for broadcasting offline signed Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies transactions.
The Locha Mesh is a radio network for off-grid messaging and cryptocurrency transactions without access to the internet. The main objective is a long range network for everyone, everywhere. For this reason we are working not only in a protocol, but also the firmware for affordable devices like the Turpial, Harpia, or their DIY equivalents. We adhere to open source ethos at every step and aim to make this tool as decentralized as possible so users can transmit with freedom.
If you want to learn more about Locha Mesh feel free to read the Locha Mesh main repository or take a look at our website locha.io.
If you want to support this project you can make a donation to the Locha Mesh effort to build private censorship-resistant mesh network devices for cryptocurrency payments without Internet.

The development code is located on the dev branch. All the development
happens there and all Pull-Requests should be pointed to that branch.
Make sure your Pull-Request follows the CONTRIBUTING.md guidelines.
The following are brief descriptions of the technologies used
React Native enables you to build world-class application experiences on native platforms using a consistent developer experience based on JavaScript and React.
It's a fantastic leap forward in providing the ability to write native applications with Javascript that target both iOS and Android. This application provides one code base that works on both platforms. It demonstrates Form interactions, Navigation, and use of many other components.
Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps. It helps you write applications that behave consistently, run in different environments (client, server, and native), and are easy to test.
Before Redux, application state was managed by all the various components in the app. Now, the state is managed in a predictable and consistent manner and it can be tested with Jest and best of all, it is independent of the UI. This is a major advancement in application design!
Realm is a database engine designed to be used in the development of mobile applications for both Android and iOS systems. This system allows us to create relational databases in a simple way as well as being open source.
Realm Database is an alternative to SQLite and Core Data. Thanks to its zero-copy design, Realm Database is much faster than an ORM, and often faster than raw SQLite.
NativeBase is a sleek, ingenious and dynamic front-end framework created by passionate React Loving team at Geekyants to build cross platform Android & iOS mobile apps using ready to use generic components of React Native.
React Navigation is born from the React Native community's need for an extensible yet easy-to-use navigation solution written entirely in JavaScript (so you can read and understand all of the source), on top of powerful native primitives.
Before you start, make sure you have the following requirements
- Node.js v10.x or a version less than 12.x
- Java SE Development Kit (JDK 8)
- Python 2.7
- git
- Rust +1.45
- cargo-ndk
- Android Rust targets:
rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi x86_64-linux-android i686-linux-android
- Android NDK
Check to have a dependency manager installed like npm (bundled with node) or yarn (recommended)
- The application runs on both iOS and Android with a single code base
- A user can *Create or restore account, modify their profile, add contacts and use chat with public channels and added contacts
- The user can send text, audio and images in the chat
- Random names on public channels
- Supports multiple languages using I18n
- All state changes* are actions to the Redux store.
- Every action performed by the UI interfaces with the Redux actions and subsequently to the Redux Store. This reduces the complexity of the JSX Components.
git clone https://github.com/btcven/locha-mesh-chat.gitcd locha-mesh-chatWith yarn
yarn installor npm
npm installYou need to configure your equipment to run this app, the process is different depending on your development system:
In this link are the steps to follow the official Documentation
react-native link
Run this command to start the development server and to start your app on iOS simulator:
react-native run-ios
You can also open XCode and load project, Run product -> Run (⌘ + R)
Or, if you prefer Android:
react-native run-android
For android verify that you have a device or emulator connected.
