hey. im working on a p2p file sharing app. its far from finished, but ive got enough to put it up for testing and demo purposes. it would be great if you would like to take a look and share feedback.

the aim is for this is to make it easier to transfer files between your own devices.

(my app-description combined with security-claims typically raises eyebrows, so id like to include a link to a related reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptography/comments/1evdby4/is_this_a_secure_messaging_app)

some pending things to add:

improved connection stability when over the internet.
increased file size capacity (currently limited to around 50MB)
add file-transfer progress indicator (useful for larger payloads).

feel free to reach out for clarity.

thanks for your honest feedback.

ive had feedback that people dont know what my app does before. its actually why im in the process of rebranding to Glitr. it used to be called (and kinda is "positive-intentions"). its very early days in the rebranding process and your feedback helps to guage how im doing. its clear that more needs to be done.

those pictures at the bottom will be removed. i was already on the fence about it. i put it there to add a splash of color to the landing page experience.

as for open source and f-droid. the project is developing in a way that open source isnt sustainable and so i branched out to this project. open source and f-droid are still on the table for a separate and more advanced project (https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat). i think im confusing people by mentioning it at all.

i hope to work towards functionality to make my app as easy and intuitive to use as destiny. i try to be clear in things like my post that its a work in progress to help manage expectations.
