Rippley allows local, short-lived messages that spread phone-to-phone, no cloud feed. Register an @handle (profile name), privacy first, discover nearby ripplers, skip/share/boost messages to stop or spread them.

Early beta on iOS 17+; best with a friend nearby, but solo onboarding works too with post simulation.

What to try and look for

• What's missing?
• Is the onboarding and registration clear?
• Do you prefer Stack ro Stream for your local post feed?
• Does sharing posts with two devices work as expected?
• You can optionally share anonymous metrics so that I know how active the mesh is.
• Please report anything confusing or broken via TestFlight or in this thread :)
