9 - simple P2P text and file sharing
I build myself a quick and easy, anonymous text-sharing tool - files should work, too.
How it works:
- straight forward peer-to-peer transfer, encrypted (some edge cases require traffic to go through Cloudeflare)
- when on the same network, you connect directly, if not, Google or Cloudeflare are used for connection handshake - not transfer!
- no log-in required, no costs, if you dont trust me, host it yourself - its a static web app, no backend required, it basically runs on every device that supports HTML + JavaScript
- PWA app can be "installed" on your mobile phone
Use case:
You are setting up a very new computer and quickly want to transfer that one password, because password manager is not set up yet? You want to send a code snippet from your private laptop to your business laptop?
Even between three devices the process is quite easy:
- open 9.1-1-1.de on your MacBook
- paste text in the box
- take a picture of the QR code with your smarthpone - it will no connect to the MacBook - directly, peer 2 peer
- after two seconds the text is on your smartphone
- open 9.1-1-1.de on your Nobara PC
- take a picture of the QR with your smartphone again
- after two seconds its connected to the Nobara PC, your text synced
Why 9?
Of course there are alternatives, but most if not all of them are either not fully free, to bulky and bloated or relaying the data to a 3rd party server.
