Most people start with a mesh networking tool for a simple reason: connect a few devices at home, at the office, and in the cloud, then access them remotely. But after using it for a while, you notice that this kind of "remote access" only uses half of what the network can do.

You are connected, but when you actually want to use something, you still have to remember it yourself: which IP hosts the NAS admin panel, which port the dev machine uses for SSH, which address that Windows box listens on for remote desktop. The network opened the path, but the questions of "what services exist, where they are, and how to get in" still live entirely in the user's head.

Larktun wants to redo this. We do not just want to build a "remote access tool." We want to build a home application hub: once the network is up, the app discovers the services on it, and the user only has to tap to use them.
