Had open sourced it. You can check it at: https://github.com/dikshantrajput/neighborHoodShare

Here is the source code:

"Share files and messages without server"
dkraj··on Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server
yes it is using webRTC. will open source the repo soon. BTW there are all information about it in different threads
dkraj··on Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server
Yes you are absolutely right. I had replied on other threads. Files are not encrypted. WebRTC provides encryption on all sessions
dkraj··on Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server
In terms of differentiation, I have not explored much solutions available out there so can not comment much on that. About the encryption part, WebRTC communications over browsers are encrypted using Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS). All WebRTC sessions are encrypted.

You can found more in depth details in this article: https://telnyx.com/resources/webrtc-encryption-and-security

And sorry for not replying I was not on the platform lately

Can you please elaborate
dkraj··on Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server
Sorry I missed it. but can you elaborate on compare please

Got you so you want to say that the place where I have hosted is a centralised place and yes you are right. But I won't do that ~~~
dkraj··on Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server
Glad you liked it :)

We need a STUN server to traverse NAT and get IP addresses but it does not use server to store or share the file. Only ice candidates are gathered, discovered and a handshake is facilitated by a STUN server. If that is not possible it shows error.

Didn't get the part of steals confidential data?

It can not do anything without your permissions. All websites are well scoped and run in their private environment in a web browser.

That is why there are public STUN servers available by google that any one can use: stun.l.google.com:19302 stun1.l.google.com:19302 stun2.l.google.com:19302 stun3.l.google.com:19302 stun4.l.google.com:19302

A STUN server is required for discoverability and if still ICE candidates are not found or a negotiation can not take place, I just shows an error for now. About vercel I am not sure need to check whether it provides or not

WebRTC it is: https://webrtc.org/

Yes only the network layer encryption. No file encryption as it will cost client browsers a lot in case of encrypting and then decrypting that at other end.

I have written more about it here: https://dikshantraj2001.medium.com/nat-stun-turn-and-ice-466...

Currently, I am using the public STUN servers only. If the IPs are not reachable, it would show an error and won't work as setting up TURN server would mean same as a third party server saving in file and serving it over network

dkraj··on Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server
Yes will make it open source in future. Just need to clean the code a little bit and make few more changes.
dkraj··on Show HN: I build browser extension that skips any type of ad(Not an ad blocker)
I see your point. Getting the pattern from DOM to create something custom is possible but not in real time. We can not just rely on that. Finding pattern is good but relying on that is not
dkraj··on Show HN: I build browser extension that skips any type of ad(Not an ad blocker)
Yes we can just hide any type of ads with this strategy keeping our account also safe not like how accounts got banned using uBlock
dkraj··on Show HN: I build browser extension that skips any type of ad(Not an ad blocker)
Yes you are right they can do this but it's not that easy to do and also these big tech giants can't just simply update the code like we can. Everything goes through a process which takes ample amount of time and If they does it also, I will come out with some more solution.
dkraj··on Show HN: I build browser extension that skips any type of ad(Not an ad blocker)
Read this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/18c9lf0/ublock_jus...
dkraj··on Show HN: I build browser extension that skips any type of ad(Not an ad blocker)
Yes. uBlock does not works any more
dkraj··on Show HN: I build browser extension that skips any type of ad(Not an ad blocker)
Most of them are outdated and not open sourced so can't really update to fix there! As per comments on chrome store

Here's the github repo: https://github.com/dikshantrajput/adBlitz
dkraj··on Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to automatically skips YouTube skippable ad
I had created one. You can checkout here. Also added it for most browsers https://ad-blitz.vercel.app/
dkraj··on Show HN: NoFap: I created an extension to block porn websites
Agreed with you MildlySerious. Thanks for pointing it out. If anyone reading this reply have any, please open an issue. At the end it will help someone.
dkraj··on Show HN: NoFap: I created an extension to block porn websites
I also just got the file from some public pool
dkraj··on Show HN: NoFap: I created an extension to block porn websites
lol
dkraj··on Show HN: NoFap: I created an extension to block porn websites
No, it does not. you can go to x.com or twitter.com
dkraj··on Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to automatically keep track of visited URLs
It is not different from history. It just highlights the url that we have visited on webpage. Back then all urls were shown in purple color when visited but now almost no website likes to have that so this is more for indication sort of thing

looks great, will try this one
