Hey PH! I'm Hector, the solo dev behind Farscope. The idea started simple, I had a bunch of old Android phones collecting dust and didn't want to pay Alfred Camera €5/month forever. So I built the alternative I wanted: peer-to-peer, no account, no cloud, one-time payment. Under the hood it's React Native + WebRTC, it goes directly phone to phone. The free tier lets you connect 2 camera phones. The Owner Pass (one-time, no subscription ever) unlocks 5. That's it. No tiers, no renewals, no surprises. Still in private beta, would love to hear from anyone who's tried Alfred, Manything, or similar and got fed up with the subscription. That's exactly who I built this for. Happy to answer any technical questions about the WebRTC/P2P side. AMA.
