Self-hosting rocks!
O wow. #onionshare allows you to securely and privately host websites without need to give your information for domain registration or any other stuff.
This means you can fully anonymoualy shitpost on any topic you want.
Send files privately. No cloud. No trace.
I’m working towards something for #secure / #private / #simple #P2P #filetransfer. It isnt as “simple” as it could be, im still working on it, but ive got it down to:
Zero-installation as a #PWA
Zero-registration by using local-only storage
#P2P-authentication using #WebCryptoAPI
Fast #datatransfer using #WebRTC
It’s far from finished, but i think ive got it “usable” enough to ask for feedback on it.
When comparing this project to things like #wormhole, #onionshare, #localsend, #syncthing, #croc, #sphynctershare and countless others. the key difference in my approach is that its a #webapp thats ready to go without any "real" setup process. you just need a browser.
I’m aware there are things like #SFTP and several other established protocols and tools. I started doing this because I was learning about #WebRTC and it seems suprisingly capable. This isnt ready to replace any existing apps or services.
(Note: I know you guys are typically interested in #opensource code. this project is a spin-off from a bigger project: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat)
Let me know what you think about the app, features and experience you would expect from a tool like this.
---
SUPER IMPORTANT NOTES TO PREVENT MISLEADING:
These projects are not ready to replace any existing apps or services.
These projects are not peer-reviewed or security audited.
The chat-app is #opensource for transparency (as linked above)... but the file-app is not open souce at all (especially spicy when not reviewed or audited.).
All projects behind positive-intentions are provided for testing and demo purposes only.

@fuchsiii @puppygirlhornypost2 @kopper granted, #TechIlliterates & #Consoomers are just a bad standard to begin with and aligning with the bottom barrel is always gonna lower one's standard.
People need to realize there's not one perfect app.
- They can have multiple very good options that do their part or one shitty bloatware that does nothing even halfway acceptable.
The former are #IRC, #XMPP+#OMEMO, #WebCall, #OnionShare, #Linphone, #Mumble, …
The latter one are #MicrosoftTeams, #Discord, #QQ, #WeChat, #iMessage, #Signal, #Matrix, …

@adisonverlice I think that's dangerous disinfo as @torproject actively works against attempts to fingerprint and track #Tor users.
- I do consider Tor more private than any #VPN simply becaise they can neither ban users nor identify them.
In fact, Tor has been designed with the explicit goal to circumvent #Firewalls and #InternetCensorship methods like #DeepApcketInspection.
- Which is why #OnionShare by @micahflee works so great!
As a matter of principle I'd never vouch for any #centralized, #SingleVendor and/or #SingleProvider solution of any kind, including #Session.
- Tor is sufficiently decentralized in that it is not only completely #OpenSource but has proven to not have SPOFs in the form of maintainers and is able to yeet proplematic folks (unlike #WikiLeaks!)…

Coming soon to an #OnionShare near you... the ability to download from another OnionShare (instead of needing Tor Browser) 
The video is not a mock-up, this is actually working..
This will also open up the way forward to optionally 'poll' an OnionShare at regular intervals, in case it adds or updates files, effectively creating a sort of basic 'sync' mode.
This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is live:
