Hey HN! I built Frop - an open-source AirDrop alternative that works on any device with a browser. Two people connect via a 6-character code and can send files/folders back and forth with real-time streaming.
No apps, no accounts, no file storage - everything streams peer-to-peer through the server. Rooms auto-expire after 15 minutes.
Built with Go + WebSocket backend and vanilla TypeScript frontend.
Illegal uses like child pornography is the reason these services aren't everywhere...moderation is the hard (expensive) problem in the space. Congratulations again, and good luck.

Would love feedback on the UX and any bugs you find!
