    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…

    Hey HN, At work, I was annoyed about having to download logs by writing them out to files and transferring them over to my local over HTTP (admittedly, this is because of a rather novel architectural situation). So, I built a tool in Go that lets you pipe contents into an SSH server for sending and reading them out on another connection. You can also use this tool to transfer files. Just cat the file on the sender end and redirect the output of the receiver end to a file. Please note that the transfer rate is heavily dependent on your connection and proximity to the public ssh.beam.camp…

    It's sometimes frustrating to send files among devices. Now you can send any file to any Chrome/FireFox/Safari client that wants to receive it: https://taonexus.com/p2pfilesharing Just share your ID, select a file and click send, and the receiving client will prompt to save it: There is no signup of any kind. You just need a way to copy the peer ID such as by email or text message, so they know who they're trying to get the file from. This makes it much easier to transfer files among devices. I tested it on Windows and iPhone, it worked perfectly. It does not use the…

    Early in April I needed to print some tax forms at the library, first time in forever, and I began to wonder: what's the easiest way to get a file onto a public computer? There are many ways, but most of them involve creating an account somewhere or plugging in a thumb-drive. I use a password manager, so my passwords are long and complicated, not easily typed. I don't want to plug anything into a public computer, nor do I fancy uploading my taxes to some random website. I thought about what a helpful product would looks like, and in about an hour I spun up the first version,…
