Mobile server http

Share files and host websites directly from your device!

What it does

Mobile Server HTTP turns your Android device into a fully functional web server. Unlike standard sharing apps, it requires no PC or cloud. Host files directly over Wi-Fi/Hotspot or generate a public SSH tunnel link for global access. Standout features include a unique "Cinema Mode" for synchronized video streaming to connected guests, granular user permissions (read/upload/delete), and secure Basic Auth profiles. Share files and stream media instantly. No root required!

    A file server for Android, end-to-end encryption, web access2020 · ▲20

    Recently I've been playing with an idea of a file server on my Android phone, with a web browser access. I wanted to replace: - AirDroid - sending files to my own PC or laptop. - ShareIt - sending big files over the local network to my family devices. - Dropbox - sharing select files with other people over the Internet. Requirements I had in mind: - end-to-end encryption, no sign ups, no accounts, no passwords - local connection if devices are on the same network - asynchronous access, server should work seamlessly in the background This week I finally managed to stitch the pieces together…

    TxtNet Browser – Browse the Web over SMS, No Wi-Fi/Mobile Data Needed2023 · github.com · ▲234

    Hello all, This is my second year of working on a project[1] with the goal of browsing the web, on an Android smartphone, without reliance on Wi-Fi or mobile data. While this concept might seem aimless, my goal was to provide a way for people in areas with limited, expensive, or censored cellular internet access a way to view the web in a basic format. I finished work on a basic client-server model last year[2], and this year, I implemented a new pseudo-distributed peer-to-peer model that allows any TxtNet Browser user to use their own smartphone to run a background server service that…

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
