This while local chat room is slightly creepy where I'm sitting right now.
Is this Everyone channel just based off GPS or actual BLE mesh?
I just uninstalled firechat because it was too noisy even when I thought I
set it to minimal notifications. Anyway it's a good idea. Also it's
supposed to do peer-to-peer somehow (maybe only bluetooth?).
