hey. im working on a p2p file sharing app. its far from finished, but ive got enough to put it up for testing and demo purposes. it would be great if you would like to take a look and share feedback.

the aim is for this is to make it easier to transfer files between your own devices.

(my app-description combined with security-claims typically raises eyebrows, so id like to include a link to a related reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptography/comments/1evdby4/is_this_a_secure_messaging_app)

some pending things to add:

improved connection stability when over the internet.
increased file size capacity (currently limited to around 50MB)
add file-transfer progress indicator (useful for larger payloads).

feel free to reach out for clarity.

I think you should explain how it differs from existing solution out there, like torrent and Syncthing.

if i do a good job, it would have comparable features.

the key distinction between mine and other apps like syncthing, is that its provided as a zero-installation, zero-registration webapp.

so its basically ready-to-use at any point on any device that has a browser.
