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 information and open-source examples of the code in action, take a look at the docs and github for decentralized chat)
Thanks for the empassioned speech/statement!
Perhaps you’d be interested in one of my open source projects. It’s a beefier version of the app presented in the parent post.

On the point about open source, it isn’t easy to pull off. I can confirm it isn’t the case that open-source be flooded with some kind of collective community review/support. It’s been an option for the chat app for a while and I’ve tried actively promoting it, it’s clear that the project is simply too complicated.
I’m a bit disappointed in how hard I tried on the open source project for it to not get the traction I wanted. To create somthing close-source and competitive in the file-transfer space is only logical at this point.
I’m sure with an enthusiastic speech like that, you’re doing your part for supporting the open source community. Unfortunately I couldn’t figure out how to get it to filter down to me.
