[Ribbit-Developers] Share Nearby

[Rich Clingman]

Awesome!

I've not heard of it, but I did some quick research...

"How does Nearby Share work?

Like Apple’s AirDrop, Nearby Share uses a Bluetooth connection to create a peer-to-peer Wi-Fi network between the devices. That means you don’t need to be connected to Wi-Fi or data pack to use Nearby Share. You do have to turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, however. The big advantage of Nearby Share is that it will still work even when you are completely offline."

That answers my "Imagine" scenario on the PWA About page.

I also saw an article that said you can share apps from the app store.
