Well, thank you :). Tor ecosystem deserves support, devs and apps.
Especially on mobile, seeing how it goes.

I think we should share a bit about that, either live on IRC (find
"tengu" on freenode or geeknode — I'm CET time) or whatever you find
suitable (MLs, direct mails, issues on GH… whatever).
Currently, I think it's kind of hard to provide a simpler interface due
to the fact the user choses which app goes through orbot or not…

Regarding texts: I cannot disagree. But I'm maybe not the best person
for wording, maybe some other people may provide better strings, shorter
words/expressions and so on.
By the way: my mother tongue isn't English, hence I probably make
mistakes, using longer sentences than needed and so on ;).

You're probably thinking about the "torify all" feature I guess? I'm
kind of reluctant to push this into orWall, as, if I understand
correctly, orbot should provide some kind of proxy using vpnservices…
Of course, if this feature isn't doable, I'll see into orwall in order
to provide the button on the "home" page.


Guess we should really discuss all of that. And collaborate closer ;).


Cheers,

C.
