@grjte.sh (who explored local-first and ATproto with Groundmist) explored Bitchat using Wi-Fi Aware rather than Bluetooth
7/ Check out the details, including a deeper discussion of challenges, a prototype of Bitchat over Wi-Fi Aware, and general notes on cross-platform Wi-Fi Aware implementation

I rewrote my [[Community Search Engine]] note. It's still not very crisp. I include emerging tools that directionally are working on what I want to be using - @dxos.org Composer, @inkandswitch.com Patchwork (not yet public), @grjte.sh's Groundmist, and the newly released by Tonk, TonkbookLM.

Data sovereignty is the antidote to the mediocre, centralized web we've been stuck with.
Groundmist Library is an example of what the web *could* look like - your private and public data effortlessly linked, without loss of ownership or control.

How about a channel for Groundmist and digital gardens in general? I'd love to compare notes with you, @grjte.sh & @trav.page, plus anyone else interested.

7/ My recent experiment, Groundmist Library, bridges these worlds:
My goal was something that's both a personal content archive and a public curated collection. When private, it's completely private - it lives on your devices, and *nobody* has access to your data other than YOU.

Lots of other wishlist items (rich text support so I can add inline links!), so may not make sense to build into this plugin, but could be a fit for @grjte.sh's Groundmist.
