yes, in fact we already are moving toward a more p2p style nostr
damus android nodes have the ability to talk to each other damus android nodes without a relay via the local network (multicast).
you can test this today buy having multiple android nodes and/or notedeck desktop nodes without internet access. it will still work, you will see people posting on the wifi.
in not too long your damus nodes will even negentropy-sync with each other, so even if they are online at different times, you will be able to see notes you've missed.
once we add a DM notedeck app this will even be more powerful. local, encrypted DMs without even needing to go to the internet.

Damus
A new social network that you control
Wow! no way I missed this! Posting from it now. Thanks!
🤯
At what point do you put it on ios or will it always be 2 separate code bases
i think we’ll have it on ipadOS at one point. iOS has too many features android doesn’t have, and it doesn’t have native iOS feel. So i dunno.
jb, you’ve outed Damus!
Just Zapped you from it Using Rizful, did it go through?
It did!
Great!
Exactly, I have got the same reaction. These guys are incredible
Resembling SSB more every day
but a lot more flexible!
having your damus nodes negentropy-sync with one another is actually super cool. what this means is that you could use notedeck on your desktop and your Android phone, and the two would talk to one another and sync up their local database of nostr content. i.e. your phone could be offline for a week and then pull data in from your desktop giving you content to read while on the go.

Im very here for this 🤙
Is this something to replace the use of relays or an offline add on, to expand the functionality?
