We rely heavily on open-source software at Pavlov and contributing back to the community is core to our DNA.
I’m really excited to see similar efforts by companies like Segment, Stripe, and OpenAI that are devloping a strong brand around engineering culture / OSS.
Totally - I think we all stand on the shoulders of giants, easy to take for granted all the hard work put into OSS. I love the conscious effort to give back!
i personally prefer file.pizza, especially considering it is an open source webrtc implementation that doesn't persist the data via any middle man (https://github.com/kern/filepizza)
Thanks for sharing that, it is also very cool! I think the two projects have slightly different use cases though. Two things come to mind:
* Sender and Receiver must directly connect using file.pizza, revealing IP addresses to one another.
* Both users must be online at the same time with file.pizza, and be able to communicate in near real time to exchange the link.
