Both Scuttlebot and Dat have LAN peer auto-discovery. Although cabal apps are quite new, I'd say they're pretty stable, given they are very simple. I believe they are in English only.

Cool, I added this to the page:

# Cabal
- platform: Android, iOS, desktop via Electron
- LAN peer auto-discovery:
- functions: LAN and internet, text chat, channels
- stability/usability:
- languages of user interface:
- website: https://cabal-club.github.io/

Can you fill in the blanks? And how does it affect battery life on your
phone?

Also, I added Twisted, which showed up when I searched for "chat" in the
LibreMesh packages. I figure a non-p2p option meets my needs if the
server can run on a LibreMesh router.
