Send files privately. No cloud. No trace. (glitr.io)

glitr.io

im working on a p2p file transfer app. at the moment its a close-source webapp, but i hope to work towards some selfhosted options as seen on my other projects.

the storage is local-only from your browser/device. so like "the cloud", but the cloud storage capacity is made up of your devices.

ive recently updated the landing page and i hope ive got it as simple as possible to transfer a file from one device to another.

im looking for feedback on the experience.

(Note 1: its still a work in progress. if there is an issue, you can usually refresh the browser and try again)

(Note 2: it seems important to mention: this app is not libre software. This needs more consideration to see if I can align to this. For similar open-source projects, take a look at the docs.)

Sounds similar to https://file.pizza/

Interesting project.

Seems somewhat similar to syncthing (really too bad that they don't have enough resources to maintain their Android app), but with more features planned in the future.

Curious regarding thoughts on open sourcing the project.

Hey. I'm the dev.

this project is an investigation into monetization by going close source (to create something competitive).

A separate but related chat project is a beefier version for the functionality seen in the parent post. Id be interested to get feedback on it just as much.

I currently do this via self-hosted NextCloud for larger and encrypted IMs for smaller files.

Opensource Syncthing for consistent storage, open source Croc for adhoc files to friends
