Very cool. Been looking at adding chat discovery into a BLE (iBeacon) app I've working on. Any idea how it discovers other devices and establishes a connection?
Cool idea, but the 100 feet line of sight requirement is kind of restrictive. Granted it uses low power BT, I'd still prefer if it was geolocation based.
While the chat function is maybe more of a tech demo, it could be used in places with bad network coverage or at big events where the network is gone down for whatever reason. Also interesting for geolocated services, because you don't have to send your position to a central entity, so interesting for some privacy concepts.
