Putting You Back in Charge of Your Data
summary
Thali claims to put data back on the phone by shipping a peer-to-peer stack that uses Bluetooth, BLE and Wi‑Fi Direct for discovery, Node via JXcore + Cordova for a cross‑platform runtime, and PouchDB/CouchDB sync for offline replication. It demonstrates a working shopping app with instant local sync, a factory use case for walking a phone between machines, a modified coin‑flip protocol implemented as a six‑digit PIN key exchange, and notes practical limits like flaky Wi‑Fi Direct and iOS quirks.
