Are there any plans to create some method of routing all phone data through the Cosmos browser, therefore allowing other apps internet access via sms? Off the top of my head, it seems like that would be very handy for things that use small amounts of data (like Pushbullet notifications and the sort). It feels like a natural expansion of this project.

I'm just not sure of the technical feasibility of such a venture. Any thoughts?

First, the standard disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, and this does not constitute legal or financial advice.

Generally, IMHO, it is a good idea to use FSF or OSI Approved Licenses (which can be found here https://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html and here http://opensource.org/licenses/category)

The Free Software Foundation has a useful guide for choosing a license: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations.html

I often reference the Software Freedom Law Center's Legal Primer for both practical and academic purposes (highly recommended): https://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2008/foss-primer.html#x1-60002.2

https://tldrlegal.com/ is quite a useful resource for comparing the various FOSS licenses out there once you have some context

To get ahold of actual lawyers/advisors who help FOSS projects, you can reach out to the FSF, SFLC, and OSI at:

Hope this helps, and happy hacking!

Is the P2P version still under development?

I was testing the app and it continuously crashed while looking for the text messages from twilio, yet there was a thread with messages that I manually sent. I assume "address" in the SMS database is From field, because I had setup Twilio to reply with random text, and finally the app continued the process.

It was complaining about not being able to decompress data afterwards, but that is because I didn't send any data back.

So is it supposed to immediately check the inbox?

Certain Samsung Galaxy S5s and Samsung Galaxy s2x phones do not render the markdown after it is decoded and decompressed.

We currently suspect it to be the default messenger app but this is not confirmed yet.

I know this was created a lot of time ago but you guys got featured today in the "Built by teens" collection of Product Hunt. With that said, is this under active development? I don't see much activity in the last months.

If you dropped the project, what's the reason? Was it not feasible from a technical standpoint?

Is there a Google Play distribution in mind?
