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.

Where is the source? Is it some subdirectory of the positive-intentions/chat repo?

"file-transfer" as a capability is demonstrated in the chat app. the chat and file app are a GUI for peerjs-server.
