    Thank you for your comments, just some context: - The app is available for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Apple Vision Pro, and the Web. - The Web version is implemented as a Progressive Web Application that is very responsive, local first, offline first, can be installed, and is entirely free to use. - Native (hybrid) versions do not require subscription fees and have small one-time payment. - You can store your notes in Git using any Git provider such as GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. However, it has the best built-in integration with GitHub. Self-hosted scenarios like Gitea are also…

    In 2021 after getting thoroughly sick of Privnote, i built "Burner Note". Even though i didn't promote it in anyway other than a post here and a post on reddit, it ended up getting about 7000(ish) unique users per month. I kinda let it die about 18 months ago but i've resurrected it with some big upgrades. Most botable the app is now truly end to end encrypted (previously was just server side), and I've added dark mode as well as a few other bells and whistles. Feedback welcomed.

    I built SecureShare to solve a common problem I faced: securely sharing files between devices without size limits or intermediary servers. What it does: - Direct P2P file/text/folder sharing using WebRTC - No file size limits (only constrained by local disk space) - No registration required - All data stays on your devices (no server storage) - Supports multiple simultaneous receivers - Custom retrieval IDs and QR codes for easy sharing - Works across platforms, mobile-optimized Technical details: - Built with Next.js + Tailwind + shadcn/ui - Backend: Node.js + Redis (minimal,…

    I have decided to open source this project to increase trust even further. In case you have seen my previous posts, this is an update for berb.app, a WebRTC file sharing app. My goal is simple: send files between devices in real-time without installing crap or uploading to any servers.

    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. No downloads or installations are needed—everything works directly in your browser. Key features include: - Works seamlessly as a PWA for sharing files/text through the system - File synchronization and resuming interrupted transfers - Video calling - Clipboard and folder transfer (folders are auto-compressed) Weblink uses a serverless P2P architecture, supporting multiple backends like Firebase and self-hosted WebSocket, and ensures signaling…

    Hi HN — I built Pairlane, a WebRTC-based P2P file sharing tool. Core idea: file bytes never pass through the server. The server only does WebSocket signaling (Cloudflare Workers + Durable Objects), while the actual transfer happens peer-to-peer over a WebRTC DataChannel. It works for: - browser ↔ browser - browser ↔ terminal - terminal ↔ terminal (via an npx CLI wrapper) CLI quick start: - npx pairlane send /path/to/file - npx pairlane receive --output-dir ./downloads Security: - Optional E2E encryption (AES-GCM). The key lives in the URL fragment (#k=...) and is never…

    Hey HN, I built this to scratch an itch I had around what can be done solely using the URL. It's very minimal with no storage involved, and your files can even be encrypted. The only caveat is some platforms wont allow you to post long links. I thought about using a URL shortener, but storing and mapping URLs kind of defeats the purpose. However most browsers do allow you to open them once you have them. For instance I was able to "share" a 10MB file using safari, however 350KB seems to be the max for Chrome.
