Powered by W? Is W a new programming language or JavaScript framework?
It looks like @todsacerdoti is not aware that Hacker News submissions are limited to 80 characters in the title. They probably wanted to submit “HTML5 clone of Apple's AirDrop - easy P2P file transfer powered by WebRTC” which is 73 characters long and represents the current project headline on GitHub, but then they added the project name at the beginning “Sharedrop:” turning the title into a 79 characters long string cutting “WebRTC” out. I think this would have been enough: “Sharedrop - Easy P2P file transfer powered by WebRTC”.
- freeCandy 6y agoLooking at the GitHub page, they probably wanted to write WebRTC.
- asutekku 6y agoI don’t think ”P2P file transfer” would be sufficient to describe the project as the Airdrop aspect makes it really different from what most people likely think of P2P file transfer.
