HubHive Loop vs be here

HubHive Chat is the messaging app for your HubHive world — the friends, neighbors, businesses, and groups you already follow, plus anyone else you want to talk to. Start a conversation in a tap. Share it as a QR code or a link and let people join without hunting for a username. Your HubHive account already works here, so there's nothing new to sign up for. MESSAGING THAT KEEPS UP • One-on-one and group conversations • Reply to any message, react with any emoji • Edit a message you got wrong, unsend one you didn't mean to send • See when someone's typing, when your message arrived, and when it was read • @mention people in groups so the right person actually sees it MORE THAN TEXT • Voice messages, for when typing won't do • Photos and videos, one at a time or as an album • GIFs and stickers • Polls, for when the group can't decide • YouTube links that play right there in the conversation • Every photo and video from a chat, collected in one gallery BUILT FOR REAL GROUPS • Add and remove members, and see who's in the room • Pin the conversations that matter • Choose per conversation whether you get every message, only your @mentions, or nothing at all FIND YOUR PEOPLE Sync your contacts to see who's already here, search your chats by name, or send an invite link to anyone who isn't. HubHive Chat is free. Questions or feedback? support@hubhive.com

A shared space for whoever is around you. A feed anyone nearby can post to, private messages between people, public profiles, and guestbook walls you can write on. What you write goes to the phones near you, and each of those passes it on to the phones near them. It travels as far as people carry it. Someone who arrives an hour later still reads what was said, because the phones that heard it kept it. The app never asks where you are. IT DOESN'T NEED THE INTERNET Phones find each other directly over Bluetooth and peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, and every phone relays what it receives to the phones near it. Each person running the app extends the reach by another hop. No servers. No accounts. WHERE IT'S USEFUL Apartment buildings, campgrounds, concerts, festivals, airports, national parks and neighborhoods, where people are already together with no practical way to reach each other. It also keeps working during an outage, on a plane, or anywhere with no signal. PRIVACY Your profile is stored on your phone and nowhere else. Private messages are encrypted before they leave it, so the phones that relay them cannot read them. The app does not use your location. RANGE A hop is one direct link between two phones. Any phone that receives a post relays it onward, so in a crowd a message travels well past the radio that sent it. A typical hop is 30 to 120 feet indoors and reaches 300 feet or more outdoors with clear line of sight. WHAT TO EXPECT be here reaches the phones around you rather than the whole world. Delivery isn't guaranteed. A post can't be unsent once other phones hold copies, and a lost key can't be recovered. These are consequences of running without servers, and they're worth knowing before you install it.
