This is awesome! Very clever to use Gists. (As SDEES author, I'm also super happy to be able to serve as inspiration.) Could you add functionality to list available documents? Perhaps its possible to get a list of the documents using G

I think I agree with you, but I'll just clarify my naive thinking. Most synchronization tools (Owncloud, Synthing, Dropbox) perform similar functionality but they require server-side code of some sort. So compared to these, in my mind,

Initially I did. However, I tend to use lots of Windows computers, so I really wanted something where I didn't have to install Cygwin+GPG+rsync each time. The Windows release also bundles vim into the binary so you don't even have

Thanks! I will do that.

I call it "serverless" in the sense that it doesn't require any server-side code. The "decentralized" is because it also doesn't require stable internet connections to work properly - you can edit on multiple

Sorry! Apple is very restrictive. iOS 9+ is supports access to WiFi RSSI, but requires permission and approval from Apple. We requested permission 3 weeks ago and no word yet.

There may be ways of making a client that doesn't need Android - like a simple WiFi chip that simply sends the information needed by the server. I'm currently looking into this!

Your welcome, glad it will help someone. Certainly give it a try, I've heard that it works pretty well for ~5 routers for a couple of rooms in an apartment.

I thought it might. Never heard it until now!

Yes you can! Just share the "Group" name that you used for the fingerprinting.

That's an awesome idea! I'll look into that!

Don't take my word for it, you should try it out! It really depends on how many routers are in your area. For places in cities, there are tons and tons of routers so its very easy to get pretty good resolution. For places more remote,

This is a great question. A typical apartment or business has 10s to 100s of routers nowadays that your smartphone can "see" when it scans. Thus, the movement of a single router never really hinders the signal that much. Still, I

Right. Bluetooth beacons are a piece of hardware you would have to buy. Basically this tries to accomplish the same thing with just software. Here there is no hardware other than the server (which is provided) and a client computer (which y

> it's a parasitic radar system That's an accurate description, though I'd avoid the negative terminology. The system does derive its data from nearby WiFi routers, but it is in no way exploitative, like real parasites. Wi

Yes, the PulseAudio/MPD solution is awesome! I'd be interested to know if anyone else has implemented it, as I could never get it to work. My motivation for musicsaur was mainly to bypass the Unix requisite of many music syncing t

Yes, it looks at the RSSI of all networks seen, generates distributions of the RSSI signals, and then leverages those distributions using some naive machine learning to classify the location. It does not work for iPhones. Unfortunately, App
