Thank you for your interest and feedback, will definitely post it on "Show HN" in a couple weeks, as soon as both iOS and Android versions of the framework are ready and publicly available!
About it's story, we started working on this aprox. one year ago. We had an "off-the-grid" messaging app and visited a conference in order to promote it. Wi-fi was always going down, so we were one of the only apps that could actually be used, and tons of developers came to us asking to use our technology (which was kind of primitive at the time, but worked) on their own apps. Long-story short (with a few trips to countries with poor and expensive connectivity in between), we then decided to make as our mission to help build a more connected world and help developers build solutions that can work when others can't, and started working on the framework only.
Hi, Hype Labs team member here. The framework will be open and free for everyone, from enterprise to developers and released in a few weeks. We just want people to use mesh on their own apps and to see which kind of solutions they build with it. It's been super interesting to know for what people want to use it so far, may write a blog post about it and about how mesh can be powerful on mobile anytime soon.
