- 😎 Looks good!
- 🌔 Dark mode

## Stuff that will be added soon:
- [x] END TO END ENCRYPTION!!!
- [x] Only public keys sent, files encrypted in chunks.
- [ ] Minified and self-hosted libraries (no more `` and `<link>` tags)
- [x] Support for pasting images (`Control + V`)
- [ ] Browser extension?
- [ ] UI support for custom keys instead of IP addresses. (Allows you to connect with someone with a different IP address than you. Currently it's `?ip=[anything_here]` in the URL.)
# What people are saying about ondrop:
<br> (Thank you thank you thank you!!! :heart:)
# FAQ
(Not actually asked frequently, this is just stuff that people may ask if they
ever see this project and are interested in it :weary:)
## Why should I use this over other services?
- This doesn't track you, it's easy, you can share between platforms (Airdrop
only works on macs & iPhones :computer:).
- Most other services track you somehow.
- OnDrop encrypts files end to end, this means that nobody but whoever you send
your files can decrypt it! This includes the server itself! Even I can't see
what files people are sending. This uses
[RSA encryption](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_algorithm).
## How does OnDrop work?
OnDrop uses your
[IP address](https://www.dummies.com/computers/pcs/what-is-an-ip-address/) to
put you into a [room](https://socket.io/docs/v3/rooms/index.html) using
[socket.io](https://socket.io). To send files in realtime it sends the file as a
[blob](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Blob) to a certain
person. This file is then received by that person. All connections are hidden
from IP addresses outside of the current group. To view the full code that I
wrote see
[`index.js`](https://github.com/Explosion-Scratch/ondrop/blob/master/index.js).
## Does OnDrop track you?
Absolutely not! All files are deleted after 5 minutes, and whenever I run the
server. IP addresses are not tracked in any way, they are only used as a
grouping tool to group people together.
## How'd you get that epic name?
## Wowww, I love those shadows and stuff you did
Thanks! That's a style called
[neomorphism](https://uxdesign.cc/neumorphism-in-user-interfaces-b47cef3bf3a6),
which is a super cool way to make stuff look realistic and pleasant using CSS.
## All these other people you show are contacting you on discord and I feel left out
`--Explosion--#6807` is my Discord tag :smile:
## How did you come up with this idea?
Came to me when I realized that multiple people can have the same IP address, therefore it'd be possible to group them and figure out who's near whom.
## Can I use your code?
See
[`LICENSE.md`](https://github.com/Explosion-Scratch/ondrop/blob/master/LICENSE.md)
## Tips and tricks!
- You can click on a user to share a file with them.
- You can create a unique link to share with someone if they don't live nearby
or aren't on the same wifi network by using the `ip` query parameter, (like
this: `https://ondrop.dev/?ip=test`, now if the person you
send it to goes to that link you'll be able to connect)
- You can paste anything and it'll upload it to everyone, an image, some text,
etc!
- You can drag and drop not just files, but images and text from webpages as
well!
- Installable as a PWA!
- Add `?dev=true` to the URL to send errors and logs to the server and view them
at `/errors/${ip_hash_here}`
- Errors are not recorded for users without dev mode on.
