In case anyone misses this due to not using Discord, and Josh, who is developing this app no longer using the forum, I thought I’d post this here:

It works on Autonomi 2.0, and is the first Android app to do so from what I’ve seen.

I tried it out, and managed to get it working after a few attempts / making sure my MetaMask wallet on Android was up to date.

It’s apparently important to ensure to allow it to use battery freely when it prompts for this on install, or it makes the connections far worse.

Great to have a slick Android app that enables basic network usage available, and I hope it inspires many more!

I just read your website, and it look original (graphic) but I have problem understand what your project do. Or how it could help. What is use case. It affect on me too complex. Obviously if I really want a maybe use ai to help me, I would get it, but just think “average” people will have same problem? i would consider better web presentation thx

Josh, who developed the app no longer uses the forum, but as I understand it, Etchit is an app that lets people easily upload text snippets (Etch) and upload/download files to/from the Autonomi Network from an Android phone.

It’s a proof of concept that shows a nice looking app that interacts with the network in a fairly accessible way, that I’m sure will get more streamlined in time.

For me it’s the only way I’ve managed to do anything with Autonomi 2.0 since launch, as nothing else can easily be done from a phone, so I’m pleased to see a mobile friendly app emerge so early, and hope many more can build on top of what’s been done here.

Etchit now on Linux desktop. Josh is motoring !

Quick intro to etch/it.

The goal: seamless access to your data on Autonomi from anywhere, on any device, just by connecting your wallet. Install the client (or open the web viewer at etchit library viewer ), connect, and your library is there.

etchit is built for text — documents, code, ideas, knowledge you want to preserve indefinitely. The etch flow doesn’t support image or video uploads, but the app will display image, audio, and PDF content already on the network when you fetch it.

Most testing is with MetaMask so I recommend it (some users have reported issues with other wallets).

Your library (opt-in) follows your wallet. Entries live on Arbitrum, content on Autonomi — both effectively permanent. The list of what you’ve saved is encrypted; only your wallet can read it.

What you may not realize you’re getting:

- Permanence. Reachable as long as Autonomi runs. No platform to ban you, no monthly bill. Pay once, keep forever.

- Privacy by default. No email, no phone, no analytics, no profile. Mark an etch private and the access key never leaves your device.

- No vendor lock-in. If etchit disappeared, your data stays on the network and anyone can build a client that reads it.

- Self-sovereign. Your wallet is your account and your encryption key. No etchit server holding anything ransom.

Where it runs

- Android — signed APK on GitHub: no Google services, no tracking, no ads.

- Linux desktop — nearly full parity with Android; in active development.

- Web library viewer — etchit library viewer from any browser, connect wallet, see your library. No install.

- iOS/Windows — hoping to ship soon.

This is what should have been proof of concept 10 years ago. Very very basic. Looks like AI made the website. Why is this exciting? autonimi team should have given us a working version of this as bare minimum with every release. Its embarrassing how feeble this project has proven to be. Look at nextgraph or pears.com /keet, leagues ahead while also slowly failing less.

Perhaps because a working version was not possible until now?

And so what if he used AI to do the grunt work to create a great looking site AND an awesome app.

What have you ever contributed?

You dont sound too happy, have you tried Rennies ?

Seek help or forever be known as a popular versioning tool that moàns a lot.

Your negativity has in part led to this.
