This is a neat project. I&#x27;ve been slowing exploring some of these ideas myself both for work (offline field work) and fun (games and communications apps for running in the mostly offline world of a cruise ship). It&#x27;s neat to see Mozilla exploring the space directly.<p>One of the hard parts here is that although mDNS is now a standard, it seems very inconsistently supported. It seems a shame that you can&#x27;t just rely on <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mdns-address.local" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mdns-address.local</a> to work on every device or at all reliably.<p>Offline capable peer to peer apps I think have a lot of uses and are a great idea. Hopefully something like this Mozilla project might push forward to some standard generally accessible to the public.
