SneakerNet

The internet has diluted the sense of local community.

SneakerNet is a digital version of a Little Free Library.

SneakerNet nodes present themselves as wifi access points providing locally curated content. See Concept for more details.

Usage Implementations:

• Browser - serves a web application that can send/delete content.
  • iPhone doesn't support the wifi api needs of SneakerNet, and therefore can only be supported by a web application.
• Android App
  • raises notifications when there are SneakerNet nodes in your vicinity.
  • automatically curates objectionable (flagged) content.
    • deletes files you've flagged from SneakerNet nodes you come in contact with.
  • Get it from Google Play
