It seems to depend on centralized "cloud" servers.  You forgot to
mention this.  (Normally, what is colloquially known as a "mesh" does
not depend on servers that are not part of the set of clients.  The
clients "mesh" with each other, not with some third party.)

Its dependency on this/these servers is undefined and undocumented.
Which operations work when the server is down or the network to it is
unavailable, and which do not?

The link to "how to set up your own portal":

is a 404.  And the source code links are nonexistent.
