hey. im working on a p2p file sharing app. its far from finished, but ive got enough to put it up for testing and demo purposes. it would be great if you would like to take a look and share feedback.
the aim is for this is to make it easier to transfer files between your own devices.
(my app-description combined with security-claims typically raises eyebrows, so id like to include a link to a related reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptography/comments/1evdby4/is_this_a_secure_messaging_app)
some pending things to add:
- improved connection stability when over the internet.
- increased file size capacity (currently limited to around 50MB)
- add file-transfer progress indicator (useful for larger payloads).
feel free to reach out for clarity.
In the subject of licences, I don’t really know much there.
Given that I’m trying to sell it on the play store I guess you don’t control it?
What would be the concerns around this? Loads of things are close source. I expect it helps to create something competitive.
Paying for libre software is good. The Google Play Store is not libre software.
‘Closed source’ and ‘open source’ misses the point of libre software. Most things are trash. Making scams and malware competitive does not help us.
Thanks for the clarity.
To prevent things like the risk of infection, is why the app is primarily a webapp. Sanboxed by the browser of you choice.
This does not prevent anti-libre JavaScript software spreading to the browser.

This app is based on a similar technology. Maybe you can help me understand the concerns if it does all the things described in that post.
I am not talking about the control, not technology.
Thanks for the links. I’ll need to learn more about this. My high-level thoughts are that I’d like control over my work so it may not be libre software.
That is your choice but not helpful for a privacy space or our devices.
