Cette page est une copie du brainstorm Indiewebcamp 2019 chez Mozilla à SF durant l’Indiewebcamp

Elle a pour objectif de contribuer avec les membres iwc francophones pour poser nos réglages sur iwc:locol. — x

Notes

Setup

• Step 1: Start wifi hotspot
• Step 2: Connect all devices to the hotspot
• Step 3: Turn off mobile data on all mobile devices
• Step 4: Turn on Bluetooth on all devices

You're now all connected to the same wifi network, but without access to the internet.

How to connect and collaborate?

Test: Load an address of some kind in a web browser, that results in renderable web content

HTTP over TCP on local network

• Connectivity: LAN
• Steps: Type IP address int a web browser
• Results: Mixed - some network configurations can prevent this from working
• Notes

 * Android phone hotspot worked fine for loading local network webservers.
 * But Mozilla's guest network does IP isolation, so it didn't work at all.
 * Challenge: lack of human readable names like DNS provides.
 * Challenge: no network discovery of available websites
 * Challenge: no HTTPS for local DNS-less websites

Airdrop

• Connectivity: Bluetooth
• Steps: Open Airdrop, and drop a file on a person listed there
• Results: Failure - no way to do anything web
• Notes

 * Mac OS X laptop computers were able to share files. That's not the web.
 * One laptop couldn't see the iOS device but the other one could.
 * Mac OS X prompted for Bluetooth, which seems odd - not clear what was used to transfer

Secure Scuttlebutt

• Connectivity: LAN, Bluetooth
• Steps: Open SSB client, and try to connect to the other person in the room
• Results: Failure - no way to do anything web
• Notes

 * We tried Patchwork on Mac OS X, Manyverse on Android, Planetary on iOS
 * We connected Patchwork and Manyverse, but not Planetary

TODO

• Test Beaker Browser (DAT)
• Test IPFS - embedded node in Brave, IPFS Desktop + IPFS Companion browser extension
