hey,

i created a browser-based tool for p2p file transfer where it doesnt use any backend for storage. instead, it relies on storage provided by the browser.

https://file.positive-intentions.com/

its still a work in progress, but id like to know your thoughts. it isnt open source, but its largely based off another project which does P2P messaging (its just called "chat"). my intentions with this new app, is that i will aim for this to be a B2B SaaS product, but until i set up login+subscription, its free-to-use. id love to get feedback on features you would find useful.

i have some documentation, but im also sure that it isnt very clear. so feel free to ask any questions about how it works.

the landing page is also largely based off the "chat" project. https://positive-intentions.com/docs/file . i will try to make more time to improve the landing page experience.

Please allow the ability to set a custom TURN server (with credentials!), either via the frontend or backend, because many people are behind CGNAT or some type of symmetrical NAT without any traversal/portforward capabilities, and have no other way to initiate p2p/direct connections.

thats sounds like a great idea. i'll investigate the options.
