I’ve been working on an open-source P2P file sharing app called MeshDrop (early beta, looking for honest feedback)

Hey everyone,

For the past few months I've been working on a side project called MeshDrop.

The idea started because I wanted a simple way to send files and folders directly between my own devices (and with friends) without uploading everything to cloud storage or relying on third-party servers.

MeshDrop is built on the Holepunch ecosystem using Pear Runtime, Bare JS, and Hyperswarm. It supports direct transfers over LAN and can also connect over the internet using DHT hole punching with end-to-end encryption. I've also been experimenting with a few extra features like short 8-character pairing codes, cross-device clipboard sharing, and a remote drive feature that's still a work in progress.

I'm still learning as I build this project, and I've been using AI coding tools alongside documentation, testing, and a lot of trial and error to help me move faster. I'm trying to understand the code and improve with every feature instead of just generating code and hoping it works.
