    A P2P Web App for Chat, File Transfer, and Video Calls▲22

    I’d like to share a open source project I’ve been working on: Weblink, a pure web-based file transfer and chat application built on WebRTC.

    Socket to Me, a static file server that runs in the browser▲14

    The service lets you share an entire folder - not just a single file - with anyone on the Internet in a single click.

I built it because I needed a way to share a static website with a client without first uploading the work to a cloud service.
