    :mailbox_with_mail: Simple, private file sharing. Mirror of https://gitlab.com/timvisee/send (by timvisee)

  • I think it's the locale files, like this one: https://github.com/timvisee/send/blob/master/public/locales/...

    If you look at github/linguist, that's what recognizes languages in repos. It has this rule for FreeMarker: https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/32ec19c013a7f81ffaee...

    It seems a .ftl extension means FreeMarker to linguist, so those localizations show up as such.

  • snapdrop

    A Progressive Web App for local file sharing

  • There's also https://snapdrop.net which seems extremely similar to sharedrop.io but has an additional useful feature of letting you send messages which I sometimes use to send links to devices that aren't logged into any service.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • linguist

    Language Savant. If your repository's language is being reported incorrectly, send us a pull request!

  • pcp

    📦 Command line peer-to-peer data transfer tool based on libp2p.

  • I‘ve also built a file transfer tool (CLI) with emphasis on decentralization. It’s a fully decentralized p2p file transfer tool based on libp2p:

    https://github.com/dennis-tra/pcp

    I‘m currently trying to make it interoperable with https://share.ipfs.io/#/ which resembles the functionality of the posted tool.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Firefox Send

  • github1s

    One second to read GitHub code with VS Code.

  • croc

    Easily and securely send things from one computer to another :crocodile: :package:

  • webrtc-extensions

    A repository for experimental additions to the WebRTC API

  • Thanks, this is great context! Especially the very different focus in these two projects explains a lot (lightweight control channel for A/V [1] vs. the entire reason for using WebRTC in all of these file transfer projects).

    Curious to see how the new implementation will play out for the browsers!

  • ClearURLs-Addon

    ClearURLs is an add-on based on the new WebExtensions technology and will automatically remove tracking elements from URLs to help protect your privacy.

  • The README on the repo itself links to gitlab, including the "create an issue" link: https://github.com/ClearURLs/Addon/#contribute
