hopchat: smart home control with a shared local model and a peer-to-peer terminal chat
hopchat is an open-source terminal chat built on the Offline Protocol SDK and ratatui. Machines on one network find each other with no server, chat over MLS, hand over files, drive Wiz lights and LG TVs, and share one local model.
Gokul SanthoshSDK 0.30: smaller libraries, C, Java and Flutter bindings, and a telemetry security fix
Offline Protocol SDK 0.30.0 shrinks the static library behind the iOS framework from 138 MB to 23 MB, adds C, Java and Flutter bindings, narrows the roots the telemetry uploader trusts, and fixes how Bluetooth LE behaves under load.
Offline ProtocolSDK 0.29 on a box: every carrier on, sessions through a middle box, and a way to prove it
Offline Protocol SDK 0.29.0 starts every transport a box is configured for, forms encrypted sessions between devices that only meet through a third, and adds offline-protocol-verify to show what the network did.
Offline ProtocolSDK 0.28 on servers and desktops: Python on PyPI and a local API
Offline Protocol SDK 0.28.0 publishes Python wheels to PyPI, adds a local API so several programs on one machine share one node, seals its stores on hosts with no keychain, and lets a device hold document frames for peers that are away.
Offline ProtocolTwo kinds of offline: why we added Reticulum and Nostr
Reticulum extends Offline Protocol into long-range and infrastructure-sparse networks. Nostr adds a decentralized relay path across reachable internet infrastructure.
Offline ProtocolStore, carry, forward: delivery when the path blinks in and out
The delay-tolerant machinery underneath Offline Protocol: how a message waits, deduplicates, and moves the moment a link appears, instead of failing when one does not.
Offline ProtocolProving identity with no authority to ask
How devices on Offline Protocol prove who they are to each other with no certificate authority, no directory, and no live network to check against.
Offline ProtocolSending a message with no server
The smallest useful thing you can build on Offline Protocol is a message that reaches its recipient with no server in the path, over an encrypted mesh.
Offline ProtocolHow DORS failover works
Inside the transport layer of Offline Protocol: how DORS scores BLE, WiFi Direct, internet, Reticulum, and Nostr and moves traffic between them automatically.
Offline ProtocolService discovery without a server
How devices on the mesh advertise, discover, and invoke capabilities with no DNS, no registry server, and no internet connection at all.
