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 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.

      Hold the phone. You basically modified open source code and plan to sell it on the app store as closed source. Correct?

        Just to be clear, my own open source code. Yes.

          You can’t just steal open source code from yourself like that. Any derivatives would need to be open source also.

          Disclaimer: Trying to make a silly retort but this might have a nugget of truth in it

            I believe their license (GPLv3) doesn’t permit modifying the source code without releasing it to anyone who asks for it, but realistically, if it’s only code they have written, they won’t sue themself over it.

            I’m no licensing expert, but that’s how I see it.
