permissionlesstech/bitchat (Swift, 32,314 stars) gained 2,346 stars today — a bluetooth mesh chat client with "IRC vibes" and zero LLM anywhere. It outgained every AI project on the board by more than 2x, with alibaba/open-code-review (+979) and pbakaus/impeccable (+847) the closest AI entries. After a month where trending was effectively all agents, offline peer-to-peer messaging taking the top slot is a useful reminder that developer attention hasn't fully collapsed into one category.
