I got frustrated when having to transfer homework files between devices I was not logged in to. To solve the issue I developed a web based application that transfers files to any nearby devices with the help of sound waves. Any feedback on the project would be greatly appreciated!

  • snapdrop

    A Progressive Web App for local file sharing

    Not standardized, but works: https://github.com/RobinLinus/snapdrop

  • quiet

    Transmit data with sound. Includes binaries for soundcards and .wav files.

    For the folks who wonder how to implement this in your app, there is this wonderful open source library called Quiet (https://github.com/quiet/quiet). I also assume this website is using this library. Quiet devs also suggest you use a AUX cable for transferring large files since this is very inefficient and works very similar to dial up connection used back in the days for internet.

  • Appwrite
