<p>I do have a fairly recent version of Android, but the current
hardware does not have an open SD slot. I should be upgrading my
phone soon and will seek a model that has that feature. <br>

<p>BTW I haven't forgotten that I offered to schedule a meeting back
in September(!) but I haven't had a free weekend or weekday in
ages. Apologies for not coming clean earlier. <br>

<div>Do you have Android 5 or later? If so, you can try this
app by my (Scuttlebutt) friend Andre Staltz to use the Secure
Scuttlebutt protocol. You'll need an SD card with at least
10G free to store the "feeds" and "blobs" of the people you
follow. My node (on my laptop) is currently using 10G - but
7G of that is "blobs" (pictures and stuff) which can be
deleted and downloaded again later when referenced. Note that
blobs cannot be downloaded offline, obviously - and if you
have limited data on your phone, it is probably cheaper to buy
a big SD card.</div>

<div>There is no server for Scuttlebutt. Copies of your data
are stored on the devices of people that "follow" you. There
is no login or password. Your identity is a public/private
key pair store! d on your device, which is the only thing you
need to backup to recover your identity if you lose/break your
phone (the data is stored on your followers devices). </div>

<div>Unfortunately, my phone is Android 4.4.4 - so I can't try
it out (although I might be able to recompile it). </div>
