It is a brilliant idea, actually. Like FireChat but better.

Could be a privacy concern as downloading a website offline would imply someone near you has visited it. Also, on mobile data don't upload other people's updates.

near you has visited it

Yeah, what if it is not a small group of people, but a crowd?

Also, on mobile data don't upload other people's updates

What makes you think so?

[ThomasdenH]

Since most mobile data bundles are limited, uploading other people's content when you have a network available again could cause unexpectedly high data usage.

Sure, it has to be configurable if use 3G connection or not, but an update only a few KB, so I think it wont affect your data plan in most cases.

To avoid privacy problems it could be also per-site configurable if you want to share it to people around your or not.

First step: no more centralised server Second step: no need for physical network Great! May be a collaboration with Serval project? http://developer.servalproject.org/dokuwiki/doku.php or span? https://github.com/monk-dot/SPAN (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.span&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5zcGFuIl0.) or commotion?

👍 +1 from me. That's a great idea.

This idea is brilliant, and should be further discussed. Tried to revive the topic on this Reddit post.

https://github.com/SmartMeshFoundation This application works well on Android. https://github.com/casific/murmur This application works with less features .
