An Off-Grid Social Network

Scuttlebutt is a decentralized "meshnet" social network whose users can sync up even without an internet connection.

So far, the network has received a dedicated social network desktop app, a Soundcloud alternative, a Viewer webapp, and a git layer (putting “distributed” back into “distributed version control”). These work seemlessly together: a person using the git layer to push a commit will record that on their diary, which is visible also in the social network app, for their friends. Currently, the community is using this to “eat their own dog food”, coordinating team work and contributing code all on the same platform, without any intermediate company. GitHub being down will rarely be a problem for them.

How cool. Has anyone here used it? I feel there could be opportunity here for a symbiotic relationship with STEEM.
