cthrone v0.19.1 share information between devices locally

cthrone v0.19.1 is out!

I'm here to announce a new version of cthrone!

https://github.com/fiwon123/cthrone/releases#release-v0.19.1

I fixed some bugs and resolved a few issues from the previous version. I think it's getting better!

For those who don't know, cthrone is a local chat app that lets you easily share information between devices. I think it can be a better alternative to platforms that store your messages and files in the cloud.

Give it a try and let me know what you think! If you like it, consider giving the project a ⭐ on GitHub.

What's next?

There are a few things I want to explore:

  • Connecting devices on different networks: I need to figure out how to communicate between devices that aren't on the same local network (for example, devices with different local IP ranges).
  • Bluetooth communication: I'd like to explore using Bluetooth to communicate between devices when there's no network available, such as sharing information between two mobile phones.
  • Improving offline support: Yesterday, my internet went down, and for some reason, I couldn't connect my mobile phone to my PC. I thought it should work offline as long as both devices were on the same local network. I need to investigate what happened.

That's it for now!

Thanks for checking out the project, and see you in the next post! :D
