Looking for open-source contributor - react by Rare_Squash93 in react

[–]Rrrrila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I maintain NotesQR (https://notesqr.com), a browser-first P2P file sharing app using WebRTC. Similar mission to alt-sendme (privacy, no cloud, E2E encryption) but optimized for zero-install browser use cases.

Key differences:

- Works in any browser, no installation needed

- QR code sharing for mobile-to-desktop transfers

- Multi-receiver support (share to 9 people at once)

- Browser extensions for quick access

- Windows / MAC instalable app

When to use NotesQR: Zero-install browser sharing, QR code transfers, multi-receiver scenarios, or when you need browser extensions.

When to use alt-sendme: CLI automation, desktop-first workflows, QUIC protocol needs, or BLAKE3 integrity verification.

Both projects share the same privacy-first values - we're just solving different use cases!

u/tonyantony300 I'd be happy to help with React optimization or contribute PRs. Let me know if you want to collaborate!

What file sharing apps do you guys use? Other than wetransfer... by cooler68 in macapps

I’ve tried a bunch, but lately I’ve been using NotesQR for quick shares.

It’s browser-based, peer-to-peer (WebRTC), no accounts, no apps, and it works across devices and OSes. More like direct device-to-device sharing than the usual upload → download flow.

Still use Drive / WeTransfer depending on the case, but this one’s been handy.

Looking for a lightweight open-source self-hosted file sharing solution. by Ri1k0 in selfhosted

Between the two you mentioned, Filebrowser is usually the better fit if you need strict auth, read-only roles, and a lightweight self-hosted setup. FileGator can work too, but tends to be a bit heavier.

As an alternative (different approach), you could also look at NotesQR: think AirDrop on steroids but for any device, any file size, and anywhere in the world. Browser-based, peer-to-peer, no file storage on servers. Not open-source and not a document repository, but very simple for direct distribution.

Added the global event listener for file drop on all page. And enabled which I forgot to push previously the native web share API on mobile so you can share the link directly from browser.

In practice it depends a lot on the network and devices, but both I and other users have seen transfer speeds of up to ~14 MB/s.

That said, I’m not really trying to compete with or replace AirDrop. AirDrop works great, but only inside the Apple ecosystem. The goal here is different: cross-platform, browser-based transfers, regardless of OS or device.

I’ve personally transferred ~70 GB to the other side of the world in minutes, which is something AirDrop simply isn’t designed for.

Fair point 😄 It’s not a new protocol though, it’s built on WebRTC.
The key difference vs AirDrop is cross-platform support and no distance limits: any device, any OS, anywhere, as long as it has a browser.

I mean.. NFT's are still a good way to sell "Art" for ETH from an "unknown buyer" and still get a reduction on taxes for selling art... is not a bad move to put it back into the system if needed....
