## 🚧 Project Update: Transition to Desktop & Mobile Versions

The **web version of SecureBit.chat** will remain available and stable,  
but **no major updates** are planned in the near future.

We are now focusing on developing **next-generation desktop and mobile applications** powered by **Tauri v2**,  
bringing new features that will be **fully backward-compatible** with the current web version:

- **Offline communication** via LoRa & mesh networking  
- **Improved encryption performance** with native crypto modules  
- **Cross-platform synchronization** between devices  
- **Local secure storage & hardware key integration**

These new builds will enable true **serverless communication** even under restricted or offline conditions.

If you appreciate our mission to build **decentralized, censorship-resistant communication**,  
please **support the project by starring it on GitHub** — your support helps development and visibility!
