Hello! Thanks for the PR! I don't think this is something we are looking to maintain nor merge into the main repo at this time. I've never heard of Dogechat, and since you've mentioned you renamed all references of Bitchat to Dogechat, it would make me believe it's just a fork of Bitchat with a meme name... Bridging chat across other platforms is an interesting idea, and I'm intrigued to see where the Bitchat version goes. I'll close this one out as not planned :) |

@liamcottle, Thank you for reviewing the PR and for your thoughtful response, I appreciate the feedback and understand your perspective on keeping bridges like this as community-driven efforts rather than official integrations. Just to clarify a bit on Dogechat: while our Android app is indeed a fork of Bitchat (we released around the same time), we've tailored it specifically for the Dogecoin community with a fun, meme-inspired theme. We've also added several features that go beyond what Bitchat has, such as an enhanced geohash map with light/dark modes, heat map, and pulse map views; support for sending and viewing files, videos, photos, and voice notes (whereas Bitchat primarily handles voice and images), not to mention early implementation of a self reliant dogecoin wallet. Heres a few screenshot examples, showing video (MP4) and file (PDF) sharing in action:
No worries at all about closing the PR, I'll happily maintain the dogechat-bridge feature as a fork for the Dogechat community. It's a great way to extend off-grid messaging for the world, and I'm excited to see how bridges evolve across platforms. Thanks again! Best, 🏴☠️ GreatApe42069.eth 🏴☠️𝕏Đ (x.com/Greatape42069E) |

Hi MeshCore team (@ripplebiz & maintainers),
This PR adds an experimental Dogechat bridge to the companion radio example, directly based on jooray's v0.1-bitchat release and feature/bitchat-bridge branch.
Changes:
Pre-built releases in my fork: https://github.com/GreatApe42069/dogechatMeshCore/releases (Companion/Repeater/Room Server v0.1-dogechat)

Experimental but tested locally. Happy to adjust naming, make configurable, refactor, or add more features.
Thanks for considering — open to feedback! 🏴☠️🐕
