P2p encrypted file sharing is sadly still an unsolved problem even though file sharing is basically the whole premise of the internet.
Will look at this when we implement p2p file sharing into https://delta.chat
thanks for your input, but can you explain what you mean by "unsolved problem"?... p2p encrypted file transfer is demonstrated in the app.
I mean compiling an app to do that seems quite a high barrier to entry. I guess you could use the web version on mobile too maybe?
the web version is intended to work on all platforms without compilation.
a html file-input is simple to add on a webpage. when selecting a file, its loaded into memory. at that point you can encrypt that file and sent it over webrtc... voila; p2p encrypted file transfer.
my approach to a mobile (ios/android) version is using capacitorjs/tauri... its basically a native wrapper with a webview.
