Offing is the social app that runs on the crowd around you — phone-to-phone, no towers, no Wi-Fi, no accounts. See who's nearby, drop finds, form crews. It works with the internet switched off, because it never needed it.
Festivals, stadiums, trailheads — the exact places you most want to find your people are where the network folds. Offing turns every phone into a relay, so the crowd itself becomes the network.
Everyone starts offline. Drag people within range of each other and they mesh up — glowing pink. Pull any one of them into the tower's ring and the whole chain lights up green, hop by hop, starting from whoever's closest to the signal.
To be straight with you: the tower bridge is the planned part. The mesh itself never touches the internet. Since 1.1 there is one optional exception, internet backup, so friends you've met can still reach you when you're apart. It is end-to-end encrypted and off until you turn it on. Bridging the whole mesh to the wider network comes later, once the offline layer has been proven in the field.
Dead zones aren't a bug you route around — they're the whole point. A few of the places Offing was made for:
Offing is out on iPhone. Download it, walk into the nearest dead zone, and the crowd around you becomes the network.
