Like, you could transmit #sheetstr or a longform article, or a set of slides, from your laptop to your cellphone or tablet, over any network your relays can handle.

Fucking incredible
This may be a dumb question, but it popped in my mind when you said that,
How does this relate to tech like holepunch, pear, with apps like keet?
Wish keet would actually open source so we can see what they're doing , but bitfinex has no incentive to do this of course (all the money in the world for their devs/subsidiaries)
I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with those apps.
Keet: a P2P group chat app, powered by holepunch & pear
Holepunch: P2P platform for building apps
Github: https://github.com/holepunchto
Pear: P2P development & deploy tool by holepunch
Github: https://github.com/holepunchto/pear
The stack is;
Keet is the top level UI/UX app for users
Running various pear deployments
Holepunch is P2P base layer protocol
Tbh I still don't know how this works but have been on a mission for years to figure out how to actually connect from one device to another, truly P2P. They seem the closest to getting there, but we all (the users) have silently agreed we really don't know 'how' they're doing it (since keet is not FOSS) so how can we trust them?
Just use bluetooth or a USB cable, with relays on each device.
Yes, but moreso Need more so for global communication
Like HAM, meshastic or better yet, reticulum (which can use anything not just LoRa)
Yes. This is the second (or third) implemention of doing this
