As is the case for seemingly all these open source competitors, one notably already needs to have a network connection between the systems a-priori for this to work.

Bluetooth or wifi-p2p networking is still largely untouched, with only Apple and Google having proprietary options, and both being tied to your user account.




Consider applying for YC's Spring batch! Applications are open till Feb 11.
