  <title>What is People Nearby?</title>

  <p>
    The People Nearby service is a serverless communication service:
    you do not need to connect and authenticate to a central server in
    order to use it.
  </p>
  <p>
    This kind of serverless messaging system is restricted to a local area
    network and an active Internet connection is not necessary.
  </p>
  <p>
    The people that use this service inside the same local area network
    will be auto-discovered, and it will be possible to send them messages
    and files as with other services.
  </p>
  <p>
    All the modern local area networks should be able to support this kind
    of service.
