I wasn't a Briar user but I sympathize with the challenges the developers had with it, particularly on mobile OSes. Push notifications are one of the biggest blockers to p2p gaining traction, especially on iOS.

@dthompson seeing Briar shut down hurts.
It was among my backup plans if we can’t keep #Hyphanet afloat (no shutdown planned there, but we’re moving slowly).

@ArneBab fortunately Briar can't shut down since it's a p2p app and the developers are going to continue maintaining what's there, but switching to it now seems unwise because you'll never see improvements.
