Peer-to-peer file transfers in the browser
rather worried that it's going to go the same fate as [Sharedrop](https://github.com/ShareDropio/sharedrop) and [Snapdrop](https://github.com/SnapDrop/snapdrop) where they recently got taken over by LimeWire the crypto/AI company.

Sharedrop: Easy P2P file transfer powered by WebRTC – inspired by Apple AirDrop
> My fave is https://snapdrop.net
it's so funny how everyone have a favorite. They all use standardized hacks on top of hacks, just because ISP do not want to let you serve content and will fight for NAT, which is their only line of defense from everyone else messing with their precious IGMP multicast hacks so they can subsidize their TV business on your internet bill. it's all so funny.
but the best joke is how microsoft and apple both tried to "make things work" in the late 90s (?) with their special zero-conf-by-other-names trainwreak of network protocols.
There's no end in sight.
