Decentralized sharing. Person 1 and 2 turns on wifi on their phones. Person 1 sends a file to person 2. Person 2 receives a notification and accepts. File is now on his phone. This works without cel coverage and without internet. Just the wifi of 2 phones turned on.
- jasonlingx 10y agoLike AirDrop?
- Sophistifunk 10y agoonly, actually reliable.
- luos 10y agoYou mean like bluetooth? :)
- vatotemking 10y agoIm aware of all the tongue in cheek comments about bluetooth. but no. Bluetooth is clunky. Wifi is ubiquitous and has a bigger range. Use case? Let say person 1 wants to share with person 3, but person 3 is out of range. Fortunately, person 2 is in between and is in range of both, so the "app" just finds its way hopping between nodes. Networks can be created on demand. Thats what I mean by "decentralized sharing".
- huehehue 10y agoThis sounds like Bluetooth
- olivierduval 10y agoWasn't it one of the firsts basic use case for Bluetooth? For me, it's already working.
