File under Share Local….Dythr
It looks the project has stalled but the idea is easy enough to make work.
Every device you own that has WIFI uses something called an SSID to advertise the name of your device. Rather than setting your SSID to MyCoolPhone you can set it to be something like "Traffic Jam On I95 near the bridge" or "Who has pizza to spare" or "Offering FOSS" . Now anyone who can see your device can read your message. Conversely you can read the messages being shared by those around you simply by scanning the ssids of their devices.
The same can be done with Bluetooth device to some extent.
The end result is a very local message board system. Very local, very uncensored and since so many people have wifi device in their pocket very accessible.
It would be great if the app imagine by Dythr were made…some one nudge nudge….as it would make the process of sending and reading even easier.
