@do_kwon the part where they make an app that connects phones to make a better internet because 'everyone has a phone' and they can be used to improve connection, speed and security.

@mewammes @do_kwon I thought the same thing! Check out Eero's branding and messaging - it's super well done and topical. 👋

Hi Product Hunt! So excited to be here! Thanks @jack7Kim for hunting Anyfi! Everyone hates bad WiFi and expensive data plans, so we decided to do something about it! We're imagining a world where everyone is connected, not in any traditional sense, but connected through the communities of everyday people. Data is expensive and inaccessible in many parts of the world, and WiFi is limited by small coverage areas and congestion. All the while, smartphones are becoming ubiquitous and the main source of accessing the internet. Anyfi shares WiFi connections among devices so that even devices out-of-range can connect. The user device automatically connects to nearby hotspots created by other devices, and shares its own connection with others to create a WiFi mesh network of smartphones. We’re offering it as an app and an SDK. With a critical mass of Anyfi users in a community or venue, the internet can be accessed by all! We will be announcing several blue-chip launch partners in entertainment, public transportation, and telecom in the next few weeks, so stay tuned. Our team will be available here all day to answer any questions you may have. We’re really looking forward to your feedback!

@jbschaff @joon_kee_park @jack7kim Hi Jared, thanks for your interest! We're a bit swamped with our launch at the moment, but if you drop me a line at do@anyfi.io with a short explanation about your desired use case, I'll forward you the necessary info.

Just a thought. So could I theoretically turn my old phones into eero like devices for my home using this app?

@tirab Exactly, we're currently optimized for Android (5.0 and up) but stay tuned for updates on iOS, Windows, and Mac!

@joon_kee_park Flipping awesome! And another question. Is this just enterprise facing or do you plan on building apps so that home users can take advantage as well?

@tirab We've launched an app on the playstore- the download link is in the "get it " button. Home users can definitely take advantage of it (if they have more than one smartphone)! Thanks for the support!
