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.
the difference with my approach is that there is no registration or installation. as a webapp its easier for users to get started.
localsend is a good approach and my project isnt anywhere near the quality seen there (or several other examples). i hope to be able to create something competative in the space.
(i am investigating providing the app natively for various platforms for better reach, but the core requirement for my app is to have a modern browser)
