Bluetooth works most reliably across all devices (within its limited range), but all these p2p apps are indeed moving towards multi-transport support to diversify and widen the connectivity grid: https://hackmd.io/@grjte/bitchat-wifi-aware

For a fairly advanced example project I can recommend looking at Quickslice, a dev toolkit for making AT protocol applications.

New comment by erlend_sh in "Valdi – A cross-platform UI framework that delivers native performance"

erlend_sh — Sat, 08 Nov 2025 10:08:11 +0000

I use Voyager, a client for Lemmy, on a daily basis and it’s my favorite mobile (iPad) app. Voyager is the spiritual successor to the Apollo client for Reddit.

https://github.com/aeharding/voyager

The app uses Ionic’s Capacitor, which to my rudimentary understanding is the webview-based upgrade of Cordova. I’ve had far fewer issues with this app than the likes of Bluesky (react native) and Discord (I think also react native but not sure).

The webview approach seems to be the only way for a one-person team to feasible provide a cross-platform app with an app-store presence. Another promising alternative to Capacitor is Tauri Mobile which does essentially the same thing, but mobile doesn’t seem to be a high priority for them.

Aka: I agree it can’t be dine with technology; it has to be done with regulation, and the EU example already models a lot of it.

> The moment you create/share data with a site, what's to prevent them from reselling it?

If I can clearly assert origin and personal ownership of my data, I can forbid further reselling of it.

EU legislation shows that we can actually have the right to demand that a company forgets about us. Asserting such rights become easier the more accurately we define what data is ours.

This is demonstrably not fantasy as the example case is a fully productionized network (Bluesky and the rest of AT-net) that’s having real-world impact to the point where it’s under threat from several authoritarian states.

It doesn’t really rely absolutely on domain names; at the very root there’s just a DID. DNS happens to be the best we’ve got right now as a human-readable username and address in-one goes.

We can work to make DNS /ICANN et.al. more democratically operated and people-owned while at the same time devising wholly alternate paradigms like Handshake and similar: https://blog.webb.page/2025-08-21-dap-the-handshake-successo...

We’re evaluating Keyhive for use in our distributed chat application and my colleague wrote an in-depth explainer on Keyhive’s underlying Key Encapsulation Mechanism BeeKEM, which is a decentralized offshoot of TreeKEM used in MLS: http://meri.garden/a-deep-dive-explainer-on-beekem-protocol/
