With some sort of peer discovery functionality, this could be a pretty cool open, cross-platform replacement for Apple's AirDrop.
...but would probably need WebRTC functionality in Safari to work on iOS devices
- endergen 11y agoI was thinking this exact use case last in year in some experiments but just got to busy to finish it. I had auto discovery of local computers and a nice name: browserdrop.it. I had it working too casting a chromecast with a system for displaying various file formats and basically file sharing your phone. Not enough time in the world to finish every side project. Also once I found out about AirDroid I kind of felt they had my main use case pretty covered. Not quite but close. https://www.airdroid.com/ https://www.airdroid.com/
- tjohns 11y agoI mentioned it in another comment upthread, but http://sharedrop.io http://sharedrop.io is exactly this. WebRTC file transfer with LAN peer discovery.
- endergen 11y agoNice! Right, I forgot I had come across that one too. Using firebase was clever too.
