    My OSS P2P file transfer tool for learning Next.js (as a C++ dev)▲16

    Hey HN, I'm a C++ algorithms engineer, and today I'd like to share my first full-stack web project: PrivyDrop. This project was born from two ideas: First, I wanted to solve a daily annoyance of mine: I needed a simple, AirDrop-like way to send text, links, or screenshots between my phone and PC. I tried many tools, but they either required me to sign up, had various limitations, or uploaded my data to their servers, which I was never comfortable with. Second, this was a personal experiment.

I built PinSend for myself while developing web apps—I was always copying ngrok links and sending error logs between my laptop and mobile devices.
