Connection is a human need.
The ability to reach another person should not disappear because a tower is distant, a network is crowded, or infrastructure has failed.
The Hopper Manifesto
The network should belong to the people using it.
We believe communication can be more resilient, more private, and less dependent on distant infrastructure. This is what guides us as we build Hopper.

Six principles.
One direction.
The network can be the people.
Every phone already carries the ability to communicate nearby. Together, those devices can form infrastructure that moves with the community.
Resilience should be ordinary.
Technology built for difficult moments should remain simple enough for everyday ones. Preparedness works best when it is already part of daily life.
Privacy belongs in the foundation.
People should not have to trade away private communication for access. Security must shape the architecture from the first line of code.
Access should not be a privilege.
Where someone lives, what they earn, and which infrastructure surrounds them should not decide whether they can stay in touch.
Useful technology gets out of the way.
The complexity of mesh networking should live beneath the surface. For the person using Hopper, sending a message should still feel like sending a message.
