Not to complain about the software but as Joseph Buchma pointed out there’s sharedrop.io/ which is also open source github.com/cowbell/sharedrop and much older, started about 6 years ago.

So what? No one is allowed to do this once it’s been done once? This project is also open source

Relax dude! If we put your title in context, especially the part “How One Developer […]” it just sounds dishonest due to lack of giving credit where credit’s due.

Apologies that my words came off that way! I’m merely challenging your complaint that someone already made a similar project before. 😊

Hence why I started with “Not to complain about the software […]”. I just found your title presumptuous given an older implementation also written in JavaScript exists, albeit using EmberJS. Both repos also have multiple committers as opposed to one. I just challenged one particular aspect of your otherwise interesting post because I felt that it didn’t need to be this way. For me personally, it somewhat detracts from the otherwise good content because I’ve known about and used ShareDrop for a long time.
