Living links: find an online source and keep content available

A living link is a product concept: when content needs an online source, the link finds a browser that still holds it. A completed receiver who stays online can keep the handoff going.

PROCESS

Follow the link

Receive from an available source

Open the link to find a browser that holds the content and can answer.

Let a receiver provide it next

After complete receipt and successful caching, a browser that stays online can become the next source.

Retry when a source returns

After the final available source leaves, access is no longer guaranteed. Retry if a source becomes available again.

AVAILABILITY

A link with a changing source

Living describes availability, not a promise of permanent storage. Open pages, retained caches, and working browser connections all affect whether content can move onward.

AN IMPORTANT EXCEPTION

Tiny content can travel inside the full link

INLINE mode can carry tiny encrypted content inside the complete link itself. Restoring that content may not require an online source, so the last source leaving does not make every link unusable.

Being able to restore embedded content does not enable offline replies. Replies still need an available channel and the relevant participant.

BOUNDARIES

Before you share

Stay available

Relay needs a complete cache and an online source; replies need the relevant participant online.

Share with care

The complete link grants access. Share it only with people you trust.

No server file copy

Content is encrypted on your device. Connection services and a limited ciphertext relay may still be involved.

FAQ

Living Link FAQ

Does a living link keep content forever?

No. It is not a backup or permanent hosting service. Save important content to your own device after receiving it.

Is a link permanently dead when its last source leaves?

Not as a general rule. Online-source content is no longer guaranteed available, but a returning source may restore access. Tiny embedded INLINE content is also an exception.

Does living link mean serverless?

No. Connection coordination still uses a service. Restricted networks may need a quota-limited encrypted relay; the application server stores no file copy.
