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)
I use magic wormhole for these sorts of things. There are many FOSS clients and the protocol is open. Here’s my android client of choice and my Linux client of choice. There are also many options of other GUI and command line implementations.
By the way this is a maintaned fork of your Android Client: https://github.com/iyox-studios/iyox-Wormhole
Thanks. I hope to get to a point where I can make the experience as seamless as workhole.
To compare solutions, a key details around providing my app as a webapp, is to avoid the requirement of a client. this opens up the set of compatible platforms.
(Note: it’s a common request for me, so by popular demand, i will aim to provide binaries for the major platforms.)
