Yeah, I'm not sure I even got things advertising easily. I was shocked at how crappy it was. I was using two relatively modern Android devices, I forget which. But one was probably a stock Nexus 7 2013. Before diving too deep into implementing more on this discovery hack, I think the important question to ask is what we would actually do with a low bandwidth, broadcast-only transport mechanism. Its not clear to me how it would be used beyond just a open chat room in the local area. .hc -- PGP fingerprint: 5E61 C878 0F86 295C E17D 8677 9F0F E587 374B BE81 _______________________________________________ Guardian-dev mailing list Post: [email protected] List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To Unsubscribe Send email to: [email protected] Or visit: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/options/guardian-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com You are subscribed as: [email protected]
