QR code key exchange is convenient, but I did not plan phone support.

Nobody does "face to face" key exchange like I imagine. Just two phones facing each other spamming QR codes for the other to read.

What I REALLY want is an app that builds a big bank of nonces between you and your peers over short range radio or QR codes and then lets you use a 1-time pad.

Ultimately, I'm only offering criticism because I have spent a lot of time working on exactly this problem, but I am not in a position to actually implement it. This is awesome and you should be proud of it.
