Here’s a quick prerelease demo of what we’ve been working on. #p2p #offlinefirst #localfirst #nat-traversal #holepunching #crossplatform
@mauve I see people might wonder if this is Bluetooth because of the pop up, but it’s connecting over the internet (that’s the point of displaying the IP addresss and ports)
@heapwolf Super cool. Is there somewhere I can find the holepunching code?
@mauve we’re releasing it this month
@mauve the hole-punching / NAT traversal works in the Socket and node.JS runtimes, but we also have Rust, C++ implementations on the way
@mauve the phone in this case is on cellular, and the desktop is on WiFi. We can successfully connect every combination of cellular behind any kind of NAT, we can also do Bluetooth for local-first (but Bluetooth does not work on windows yet)
