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)
Foss or gtfo. Im not letting a black box see my files. I dont care what you claim, I have been burned before.
I tried foss. I couldn’t get it to work so i’m trying something different.
I’m the farthest thing from an expert when it comes to programming, etc., but my understanding was that the FOSS end of it is more about which license you use to distribute, and whether or not you provide the code to the public?
I don’t really understand how that would affect the functioning of the app itself. But again, I’m not a programmer so maybe I’m missing something here.
I’m no expert on the matter of licences either. I made the open source code some bsd licence because some of the dependencies called for it.
I created some code and made some open source. I don’t have to apply that to all my projects.
I’m sorry for being a dick, but without seeing what the ones and zeros are doing I’m just not touching it with a ten foot pole. Good luck to you.
