That's a good point. I don't know if not storing (just relay) on the server helps my case. I'll read up more on it.

Anyway, this is just a pet project at the moment. My wife wanted some file that was on my work laptop which has AirDrop disabled, so obviously instead of emailing her the files, I went ahead and built this app.

Thank you again!

My bad (I should've checked Claude's output :p).

It's not exactly peer-to-peer but the server is really just a relay.

Hey HN! I built Frop - an open-source AirDrop alternative that works on any device with a browser. Two people connect via a 6-character code and can send files/folders back and forth with real-time streaming.

No apps, no accounts, no file storage - everything streams peer-to-peer through the server. Rooms auto-expire after 15 minutes.

Built with Go + WebSocket backend and vanilla TypeScript frontend.

Would love feedback on the UX and any bugs you find!
