That actually makes a whole lot of sense -- might be the killer app; a bulletin board that works on your phone. Assuming people had enough power to charge their phones, and assuming the internet at large was unavailable, this would be brilliant.
- Jtsummers 5y ago"A bulletin board that works on your phone" is actually a decent summary of gossip protocol based p2p systems like Secure Scuttlebutt (https://scuttlebutt.nz https://scuttlebutt.nz). Data can be transferred when devices are in near enough proximity to each other (share a network, bluetooth, whatever). Messages are cryptographically signed (and possibly encrypted) so you could use this as a way of maintaining (albeit slowly) communications across a distance so long as there is still travel between communities.
