Be like me—develop a navigational app with Bluetooth P2P communication for the Bolt Jam. Days later, Jack Dorsey unveils a weekend project with the same P2P concept!
Of course, this is a coincidence, as the idea of peer-to-peer communication was pioneered by the Nintendo DS with Pictochat.
However the intersection of Bluetooth mesh (as in Bitchat) and CIVIL’s P2P approach is genuinely intriguing. It signals a shift toward resilient, local networks—ideal for spots with spotty or no internet. Ideas bubble up across minds and moments, colliding unexpectedly, and that’s where the magic happens.
Social networks offer front-row seats to this creative convergence. Yet, unknown ideas often get ignored, while reputed ones are hailed as genius and go viral. I’ve learned to accept this as social media’s nature and its caveat.
Keep creating, improving society, and dodging being the “guy” who stalls progress. in the end we all share the same goal. Well, that’s enough of this fun anecdote—back to the grind! Cheers!
