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)

    strong title

    • not open source
    • similar to other free software but might have some difference (webrtc?)
    • what is the market for that target user (doesnt seem include lemmy audience) who needs that difference

      Strong title needed for strong claims.

      Its based on open source code. https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat . I’d be happy for feedback on that too.

      Webrtc would be able to outperform all other methods for transfer speed (useful for when sending larger files)

      I’m sure there is a market for eople who want to transfer files. With a zero-installation, zero-registration, it should make it easy for people to get started.
