im working on a p2p file transfer app. at the moment its a close-source webapp, but i hope to work towards some selfhosted options as seen on my other projects.
the storage is local-only from your browser/device. so like “the cloud”, but the cloud storage capacity is made up of your devices.
ive recently updated the landing page and i hope ive got it as simple as possible to transfer a file from one device to another.
im looking for feedback on the experience.
(Note 1: its still a work in progress. if there is an issue, you can usually refresh the browser and try again)
(Note 2: it seems important to mention: this app is not libre software. This needs more consideration to see if I can align to this. For similar open-source projects, take a look at the docs.)
this app is not libre software.
useless
That sounds cool 👍 If you do decide to make it FOSS I’d be happy to try it out and give feedback.
Thanks!
Perhaps you’d like to give feedback on a separate but similar foss project: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat
That looks cool - thanks for the link :)
So it’s like croc, but closed source?
I have a weird setup with open and closed source.
I have open source examples of this code in action. If interested: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat
How is this different than FTP?
This is using the WebRTC protocol. As a webapp it’s immediately good to go, there isn’t a need to run something like a FTP server.
Of course limitations apply like sending larger files nukes my ram… But I after it’s sent, it seems to settle down.
This is really cool. What kind of cryptography are you using?
I’m trying to keep it vanilla. I’m using module federation (love it or hate it), to get it from this repo.
