Re: [web-bluetooth] Advertisement / Beacon Broadcast Support (#231)

I'm building several apps (installed PWAs) that run only on your local device, with no server.

These apps aspire let you share your data with the same app on another device, using a variety of peer-to-peer techniques, so that a server never has to be involved.

The current best zero-server sharing is via animated QR codes and a device camera. That's a bit awkward/annoying, but it works. Other options I'm exploring include webaudio+mic, [webnfc] (https://github.com/w3c/web-nfc/issues/563), etc. WebRTC DataChannel would also be nice (when internet is available), but only if signaling could be done peer-to-peer (using something like webbluetooth or webnfc).

For example, I have a clipboard/copy-paste app to copy text on one device, then have that text available to paste on another device. Right now, that app encrypts your data, saves it to a gist via your github acct, then lets the other device pull it. I'm adding the animated QR stuff right now.

But I would super love to have webbluetooth P2P to offer much easier/more-ergonomic data sync between devices (without any internet).
