Products that do what Nousb.co – A seamless multi-platform ephemeral file transfer webapp does
Key technical point is that it does NOT rely on webRTC, which is not reliable enough on all browsers, and there are important file system APIs (ie. `showSaveFilePicker`) that are missing on most browsers to do actual file transfers, without storing the whole file in RAM first. The idea is to have something that is as multi-platform as possible, and can work on all browsers, even the embedded webviews in chat apps. And without app installation or account creation. To test it with a common case, which is transferring between a smartphone and a laptop: - Open https://NoUSB.co - Click…

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 [PinSend](https://pinsend.app) — a free web app for instantly sharing text between devices, using a simple 6-character PIN. - No login, no account, no install. - Peer-to-peer WebRTC transfer (no server relay, no cloud). - Cross-platform: works on any modern browser. 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. I wanted a frictionless, instant way to move links and text between anything. *Demo:* 1. Open https://pinsend.app on your phone & laptop 2. Paste or…

It uses WebRTC to allow peer-to-peer sharing, so you can send files to devices on the network using super fast WiFi speed. You can send to anyone on the web though. Drag files, get a download link and send it. Enjoy http://cend.me

I found transferring images from my PC to my phone very tedious. Using Whatsapp and other such apps reduced image quality and had limitations on the file size. Using online file transfer solutions were too slow for my taste. Hence, I created a desktop app to send all sorts of files - images, PDFs, lengthy videos, etc. to any device connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You also don't need to download a separate mobile app. There's only 3 steps involved - select your files, scan a QR code, download your files. You can download it now for free via https://fyldrop.com

Hello HN. I live in a third-world country where Internet speeds have historically been very poor and generally expensive. So I built an offline file transfer tool called Feem, that helps you transfer text, files and folders between your devices without passing through the Internet. Like other apps in this same category, you need to be inside the same LAN. Or share your mobile hotspot. You also need to install the app on all your devices. Feem works on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux. What makes our take on local file transfers a bit different from similar apps are: - Resumable file…
