No apps, no accounts, no file storage - everything streams peer-to-peer through the server. Rooms auto-expire after 15 minutes.
Built with Go + WebSocket backend and vanilla TypeScript frontend.

Would love feedback on the UX and any bugs you find!
Illegal uses like child pornography is the reason these services aren't everywhere...moderation is the hard (expensive) problem in the space. Congratulations again, and good luck.
Anyway, this is just a pet project at the moment. My wife wanted some file that was on my work laptop which has AirDrop disabled, so obviously instead of emailing her the files, I went ahead and built this app.
Thank you again!
It's not exactly peer-to-peer but the server is really just a relay.
I doubt relay would help with a public facing project because even if it is legally defensible, at any kind of scale you will wind up defending it against well funded highly motivated adversaries...and you probably don't want to die on that hill.
Or to put it another way, if it's public facing you would probably benefit from paid legal advice and if paying a lawyer seems like too much that's probably a symptom of it not being suitable for a public face.
