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)

Closed source and a crowded market.
Sorry to say, but I don’t think you understand the audience for this.
People in here are either wannabe snowden or sell some grass
If interested in how it works and to see code examples, this project is based on my beefier open-source code seen here: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat
He probably means that people who want extreme privacy and would use such a tool would also not trust anything close source, even if it’s based on an open source project
I mean to draw attention to the open source code in such a case.
