Hey,
You are offline? What does this mean? in a local network, not connected to
the internet?
No, I'm not offline. I'm fully online and connected to my server as usual.
I just think to synchronize offline history, which could be a lot of data
and include confidential messages that were initially encrypted, an
encrypted direct client-to-client channel would be cool, both for speed and
security.
If I understand you correctly, you are suggesting that both clients should
be online while synchronising their history. If we are talking about a
protocol that is supposed to work on all kinds of devices, this is a flawed
approach: keeping iOS (and, increasingly, Android) applications online
would be very inconvenient, and you wouldn't be able to create a decent
user experience with such protocol.
