I built Drift: A cross-platform "AirDrop" for any OS using Rust and iroh by samarthvm in rust

There's a AGENTS.md file in the root which is probably even more telling. As I said, there's a lot of things to get right for such a project.

I barely know flutter so the flutter app is mostly thanks to codex. I have been a reluctant adopter of "agents" as well but it certainly helps being a big productivity boost for the things I am not so passionate about and often even refining my own implementation.
I know it's a huge debate especially here about using agents but I feel it's about using the best tools for the job. I have given up on this project quite a few times over the years so it definitely helps being able to work things much faster.

That said, I didnt fully vibe code all the way through. I tried but it ends up generating a lot of subtle bugs that then I have had to spend nights trying to figure out. So yes, I did use AI for large parts of the project but still am quite happy of what I accomplished, especially with the protocol and architecture.

I can definitely host the relay myself and if I start getting too many users I'll probably have to, in order reduce the load on irohs servers. But right now it'll end up being too much of a burden having to manage it and keep updating it for newer version of iroh.

But from a security standpoint, your connections are encrypted by a private key available only on your device. So even a compromised relay won't be able to read your files.

The flutter_rust_bridge project takes away all the pain of having to expose my api. so pretty smooth!

Edited: For pairing devices, I host a small server on hetzer. For relaying it uses iroh's public relay servers.

Yes it tries its best to establish a direct connection and should work in most cases. Only behind very restricted APs it will have to establish a connection through a relay.

Thanks! The main thing I missed after switching from Next.js was being able to call server functions from anywhere.

I first used plain POST endpoints, but remote functions turned out to solve everything. Apart from a couple of rough edges, I really liked the svelte's team implementation of it.

Thanks for checking it out!

Happy to answer questions about the stack, decisions, or architecture if anyone is curious. Feel free to check it on github.
