Freepath: A decentralized information network that spreads through human contact (github.com)

Freepath is an information network that requires no internet, no servers, and no central authority of any kind.

Instead of routing your messages through a data center, Freepath works the way stories and letters worked for thousands of years: person to person, device to device.

When two phones running Freepath come near each other — at a coffee shop, on a bus, at a concert — they automatically and silently exchange content. Posts, messages, updates. Things you wrote. Things people you trust wrote. The network is the crowd itself.

Your phone becomes a node. You become the infrastructure.
