Nice project. I like the text file and hotlinking features! Unfortunately supporting hotlinking makes end-to-end encryption impossible. Also, the inclusion of third-party tracker/ad scripts and the discussion of possibly adding “more shady ads” is concerning.
For an E2EE alternative with no third party scripts, see https://wormhole.app https://wormhole.app (Disclosure: I built this)
- Fornax96 5y agoOh yea it's probably not a good idea to threaten users with "more shady ads" on the home page.. I'll remove that. Pixeldrain focuses more on distibuting files to large audiences than one-to-one file transfer. That's why it's not focused on encryption / privacy as much, everything is supposed to be public anyway. I like Wormhole a lot. If I hadn't built my own alternative I would probably be using it regularly :-)
- bil7 5y agooh nice, this looks awesome. Bookmarked
