Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Making Friends with Google Nearby.

App demonstrated at the DevFestMN 2016 workshop sponsored by GDG Twin Cities.

Google Nearby is an easy-to-implement, device agnostic set of APIs for discovering other devices around you using Bluetooth, WiFi and Ultrasound networking technology. This workshop will give you a brief introduction to the Nearby APIs and how to enable them in your Google Developer account. Then we’ll dive in and create an app that can discover other Nearby app users and exchange P2P data with them.
