Twitter made a public stance in 2011 to remain a platform for free speech, having helped fuel movements such as the Arab Spring. This past week, however, Twitter is shown to have complied with Russian government demands to block a pro-Ukrainian Twitter feed from reaching Russian citizens, with Turkish government demands that it remove content that the Turkish government wants removed, and with a Pakistani bureaucrat's request that content he considers blasphemous and unethical be censored in Pakistan. Given Twitter's role in the democratic uprisings of the past few years, perhaps these capitulations just show that centralized control of information is inherently flawed. Any network under the control of a few individuals may be compromised by non-technical means. Examples like I2P-Messenger may be a necessity.

Unfortunately it's still alpha software.
Also, if you have to install it on your computer anyway, then why make a web interface instead of a proper application?

Especially if you're a programmer and have the time to help him do it, unlike me when I put something to him and he said (I paraphrase) 'get on with it, then!' lol
I run half of it on my server and log into it from my phone and laptop. I've no problem with a always-on device running on mains doing the heavy lifting so my Android doesn't have to. It uses masses of power to run the Android program, and a goodly chunk of data.
