 Nomad Network - Communicate Freely
 ==========
 
+Off-grid, resilient mesh communication with strong encryption, forward secrecy and extreme privacy.

-The intention with this program is to provide a tool to that allows you to build private and resilient communications platforms that are in complete control and ownership of the people that use them.
+Nomad Network Allows you to build private and resilient communications platforms that are in complete control and ownership of the people that use them. No signups, no agreements, no handover of any data, no permissions and gatekeepers.
 
-Nomad Network is build on [LXMF](https://github.com/markqvist/LXMF) and [Reticulum](https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum), which together provides the cryptographic mesh functionality and peer-to-peer message routing that Nomad Network relies on. This foundation also makes it possible to use the program over a very wide variety of communication mediums, from packet radio to fiber.

This foundation also makes it possible to use the program over a very wide variety of communication mediums, from packet radio to fiber optics.
 
-Nomad Network does not need any connections to the public internet to work. In fact, it doesn't even need an IP or Ethernet network. You can use it entirely over packet radio, LoRa or even serial lines. But if you wish, you can bridge islanded Reticulum networks over the Internet or private ethernet networks, or you can build networks running completely over the Internet. The choice is yours.

 The first time the program is running, you will be presented with the guide section, which contains all the information you need to start using Nomad Network.
 
-To use Nomad Network on packet radio or LoRa, you will need to configure your Reticulum installation to use any relevant packet radio TNCs or LoRa devices on your system. See the Reticulum documentation for info.

+**Please Note**: If this is the very first time you use pip to install a program on your system, you might need to reboot your system for the program to become available. If you get a "command not found" error or similar when running the program, reboot your system and try again.
+
+### Installing on Android
+You can install Nomad Network on Android using Termux, but there's a few more commands involved than the above one-liner. The process is documented in the [Android Installation](https://markqvist.github.io/Reticulum/manual/gettingstartedfast.html#reticulum-on-android) section of the Reticulum Manual. Once the Reticulum has been installed according to the linked documentation, Nomad Network can be installed as usual with pip.

 ## Caveat Emptor
 Nomad Network is beta software, and should be considered as such. While it has been built with cryptography best-practices very foremost in mind, it _has not_ been externally security audited, and there could very well be privacy-breaking bugs. If you want to help out, or help sponsor an audit, please do get in touch.

 A `*peer`* refers to another Nomad Network client, which will generally be operated by another person. But since Nomad Network is a general LXMF client, it could also be any other LXMF client, program, automated system or machine that can communicate over LXMF.
 
+All peers (and nodes) are identified by their `*address`* (which is, technically speaking, a Reticulum destination hash). An address consist of 20 hexadecimal characters, and looks like this:
+
+`c<b8ea8f92541c9a275f0e>
+`l
+
+Anyone can choose whatever display name they want, but addresses are always unique, and generated from the unique cryptographic keys of the peer. This is an important point to understand. Since there is not anyone controlling naming or address spaces in Nomad Network, you can easily come across another user with the same display name as you.
+
+Your addresses will always be unique though, and you must always verify that the address you are communicating with is matching the address of the peer you expect to be in the other end.
+
+To make this easier, Nomad Network allows you to mark peers and nodes as either `*trusted`*, `*unknown`* or `*untrusted`*. In this way, you can mark the peers and nodes that you know to be legitimate, and easily spot peers with similar names as unrelated.
+
 >>Announces

 Nomad Network uses the term `*conversation`* to signify both direct peer-to-peer messaging threads, and also discussion threads with an arbitrary number of participants that might change over time.

+In the `![ Conversations ]`! part of the program you can view and interact with all currently active conversations. You can also edit nickname and trust settings for peers belonging to these conversations here. To edit settings for a peer, select it in the conversation list, and press `!Ctrl-E`!.
+
+By default, Nomad Network will attempt to deliver messages to a peer directly. This happens by first establishing an encrypted link directly to the peer, and then delivering the message over it.
+
+If the desired peer is not available because it has disconnected from the network, this method will obviously fail. In this case, Nomad Network will attempt to deliver the message to a node, which will store and forward it over the network, for later retrieval by the destination peer. The message is encrypted with an ephemeral key before being transmitted to the network, and is only readable by the intended recipient.
+
+For propagated delivery to work, one or more nodes must be available on the network. If one or more trusted nodes are available, Nomad Network will automatically select the most suitable node to send the message via, but you can also manually specify what node to use.
+
+To select a node manually, go to the `![ Network ]`! part of the program, choose the desired node in the `*Known Nodes`* list, and select the `!< Info >`! button. In the `!Node Info`! dialog, you can specify the selected node as the default propagation node.
 
 >>Node
 
 A Nomad Network `*node`* is an instance of the Nomad Network program that has been configured to host information for other peers and help propagate messages and information on the network.
 
-Nodes can host pages (similar to webpages) written in a markup-language called `*micron`*, as well as make files and other resources available for download for peers on the network. Nodes are also integral in allowing forum/discussion threads to exist and propagate on the network.
+Nodes can host pages (similar to webpages) written in a markup-language called `*micron`*, as well as make files and other resources available for download for peers on the network. Nodes also form a distributed message store for offline users, and allows messages to be exchanged between peers that are not online at the same time.
 
-If no nodes exist on a network, all peers will still be able to communicate directly peer-to-peer, but both endpoints of a conversation will need to be online at the same time to converse. When nodes exist on the network, messages will be held and syncronised between nodes for deferred delivery if the destination peer is unavailable.

 By default, no content is defined, apart from a short placeholder home page. To learn how to add your own content, read on.
 
+>>Distributed Message Store
+
+All nodes on the network automatically form a distributed message store that allows users to exchange messages, even when they are not available at the same time.
+
+When Nomad Network is configured to host a node, it also configures itself as an LXMF Propagation Node, and automatically discovers and peers with other propagation nodes on the network. This process is completely automatic and requires no configuration from the node operator.
+
+To view LXMF Propagation nodes that are currently peered with your node, go to the `![ Network ]`! part of the program and press `!Ctrl-P`!.
+
+The distributed message store is resilient to intermittency, and will remain functional as long as at least one node remains on the network. Nodes that were offline for a time will automatically be synced up to date when they regain connectivity.
+
 >>Pages
 
 Nomad Network nodes can host pages similar to web pages, that other peers can read and interact with. Pages are written in a compact markup language called `*micron`*. To learn how to write formatted pages with micron, see the `*Markup`* section of this guide (which is, itself, written in micron). Pages can be linked arbitrarily with hyperlinks, that can also link to pages (or other resources) on other nodes.

 To get the most out of Nomad Network, you will need a terminal that supports UTF-8 and at least 256 colors, ideally true-color. If your terminal supports true-color, you can go to the `![ Config ]`! menu item, launch the editor and change the configuration.
 
+It is recommended to use a terminal size of at least 122x32. Nomad Network will work with smaller terminal sizes, but the interface might feel a bit cramped.
+
 If you don't already have a Nerd Font installed (see https://www.nerdfonts.com/), I also highly recommend to do so, since it will greatly expand the amount of glyphs, icons and graphics that Nomad Network can use. Once you have your terminal set up with a Nerd Font, go to the `![ Config ]`! menu item and enable Nerd Fonts in the configuration instead of normal unicode glyphs.

+TOPIC_NETWORKS = '''>Network Configuration
+
+Nomad Network uses the Reticulum Network Stack for communication and encryption. This means that it will use any interfaces and communications channels already defined in your Reticulum configuration.
+
+Reticulum supports using many kinds of devices as networking interfaces, and allows you to mix and match them in any way you choose. The number of distinct network topologies you can create with Reticulum is more or less endless, but common to them all is that you will need to define one or more interfaces for Reticulum to use.
+
+If you have not changed the default Reticulum configuration, which should be located at `!~/.reticulum/config`!, you will have one interface active right now. With it, you should be able to communicate with any other peers and nodes that exist on your local ethernet or WiFi network, if your system is connected to one, and most probably nothing else outside of that.
+
+To learn how to configure your Reticulum setup to use LoRa radios, packet radio or other interfaces, or connect to other Reticulum networks via the Internet, the best places to start is to read the relevant parts of the Reticulum Manual, which can be found on GitHub:
+
+`c`_https://markqvist.github.io/Reticulum/manual/interfaces.html`_
+`l
+
+If you don't currently have access to the Internet, the default Reticulum configuration file is also full of examples of all the supported interface types, and it should be relatively simple to get a working setup going just from those examples.
+
+For future reference, you can download the Reticulum Manual in PDF format here:
+
+`c`_https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum/raw/master/docs/Reticulum%20Manual.pdf`_
+`l
+
+It might be nice to keep that handy when you are not connected to the Internet, as it is full of information and examples that are also very relevant to Nomad Network.
+
+>The Unsigned.io Testnet
+
+If you have Internet access, and just want to get started experimenting, you are welcome to join the Unsigned.io RNS Testnet. The testnet is just that, an informal network for testing and experimenting. It will be up most of the time, and anyone can join, but it also means that there's no guarantees for service availability.
+
+The Testnet also runs the latest version of Reticulum, often even a short while before it is publicly released, which means strange behaviour might occur. If none of that scares you, add the following interface to your Reticulum configuration file to join:
+
+>>
