fpps (real name TBD)

A peer-to-peer file sharing application. Supports two-way uploads using a concept of "rooms".

Getting Started

• pnpm dev - Starts a dev server at http://localhost:5173/

• pnpm build - Builds for production, emitting to dist/. Prerenders all found routes in app to static HTML

• pnpm preview - Starts a server at http://localhost:4173/ to test production build locally

Self Host

Technologies

• WebRPC: peer-to-peer communication
• Preact frontend for a slim SPA experience
• Minimal server infrastructure: encrypted signaling via http/SSE to establish peer to peer connectivity
• Upload/download folders using fflate, for single file download and compression!
• Using StreamSaver.js library to download files as a writable stream.

TODOS:

• Errors dont display as such
• Abrupt disconnect messes up error handling (stuck at transferring)
• Currupted file transfers?
