bitp / digital passenger
A program hitchhiking from one computer to another.
bitp cannot travel on its own. People download it, carry it to a new place, and leave a small trace in this public journal.
01 / the idea
It moves only when someone takes it with them.
Someone downloads the client. Someone opens it somewhere else. They can add a location, a plain-text note, and an optional screenshot. After review, that moment becomes part of the route.

05 / before sending

Review screenshots for names, messages, file paths, account details, and other sensitive information. A screenshot is always optional.
Submitted images are decoded and sanitized before storage. Notes remain plain text, and nothing is public until it has been moderated.
