I had a look at their site (thanks for the link) but there are some glaring omissions. I can't see how they are funding it (or going to fund it despite their crown-funding campaign coming up), and I can't see any mention of data limits, costs etc. As the man himself said, there's no such thing as free.
I know this has already been covered, but there's an interesting blog here about the change from syncthing to Pulse: https://pulse-forum.ind.ie/t/introducing-pulse-and-ind-ie/1074
Summary: syncthing (the pre-existing FOSS project which provides P2P sync on your own kit) is being used by ind.ie (and rebranded by them as Pulse), and they are providing development resources. The stated motive behind ind.ie is "independent technology, as in independent from being spied on by various entities", ie a goal that many here will sympathise with.
[Still can't get it to work properly though, but that's probably just me.]
