The main goal was to create something that transfers files directly between browsers without any server storage.</p> <p>What makes it different:</p> <ul> <li>Files never touch our servers - no storage - direct P2P transfers via WebRTC</li> <li>E2E encrypted with DTLS 1.3</li> <li>No file size limits</li> <li>Open source</li> </ul> <p>Tech stack: Next.js 15, TypeScript, WebRTC native APIs, Tailwind CSS</p> <p>The interesting challenge was handling NAT traversal and making it work reliably across different network conditions. Used TURN/STUN servers only for connection establishment, but actual file data goes peer-to-peer.</p> <p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/mesci/wizzit" rel="noopener noreferrer">github.com/mesci/wizzit </a> <br> Live site: <a href="https://wizzit.org" rel="noopener noreferrer">wizzit.org</a></p> <p>Would love feedback from the community! Especially interested in thoughts on the P2P approach vs traditional cloud storage solutions.<br> What are your experiences with WebRTC in production? Any suggestions for improvement?</p> p2p opensource webrtc productivity
