DROP▲422I'm the founder of DROP. I've been plugging away at this project for over six months now. We managed to secure funding, which was a huge relief. You see, I had a previous startup called cowtransfer.com. It was a file transfer gig, kind of like WeTransfer. I had a good run with it, but in 2021, I decided to sell it and move on.

The network stack is a separate binary written in Go. It uses mDNS for local network discovery and TLS over TCP or Quic, with a public Ed25519 keypair for each device. The protocol is ad-hoc and symmetrical control stream using…

Hello HN, Fileport is an online service that provides the fastest way to send files over the internet. Typically, email providers have file size restrictions and online cloud storage can be cumbersome to use. Fileport is the simplest way of transferring large files from point A to B. Intended for creative individuals like artists, video/audio editors, photographers showcasing their work or anyone whose work depends on exchanging large files.
