I'm working towards something for secure/private/simple P2P file transfer. It isnt as "simple" as it could be, im still working on it, but ive got it down to:
- Zero-installation as a PWA
- Zero-registration by using local-only storage
- P2P-authentication using WebCrypto API
- Fast data-transfer using WebRTC
It's far from finished, but i think ive got it "usable" enough to ask for feedback on it.
I'm aware there are things like SFTP and several other established protocols and tools. I started doing this because I was learning about WebRTC and it seems suprisingly capable. This isnt ready to replace any existing apps or services.
(Note: I know you guys on lemmy are interested in open-source code. this project is a spin-off from a bigger project: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat)
Let me know what you think about the app, features and experience you would expect from a tool like this.
Magic wormhole is great, and croc as well, but there is no need to be rude and combative about it.
Actually, I think that when anyone makes claims that their software is "private," being combative is strictly necessary.
The bar needs to be set very high for any software that is handling our personal data and claiming to be private, because when these systems fail it can lead literally to the death of the user in some places in the world.
How do users in dangerous situations know what software they can rely on for private communications? It is through peer-review and reputation that we as a community filter down the available software to those things that we actually recommend. And peer-review is inherently combative, because it requires pointing out every potential weakness in any part of a system, and any hint of suboptimal behaviour.
Why not? What tone would you take if you wanted folks to regret posting unpaid advertisements?
