summary
Claims a working peer-to-peer band: modular musical toys built as JavaScript audio nodes with web audio + web components, bundled into a Firefox OS app that runs a Firefox OS web server on a Nexus 4 and serves static pages over TCP. Devices discover and connect via hotspot or NFC URL bump; demo links three phones and plays—sometimes flaky, needs BPM sync (planned via websockets), service worker caching, and workarounds for current Firefox networking limits.
