I want to share my real time file transfer between browsers. I call it real time because while you upload a file from one browser, the chunks are directly downloaded from another browser.

It has support for multiple files and a browser can send to many.

I would like some opinions about it


All users are saved in memory on a map. When a user tries to connect, it looks for it in the map. If the user is not available in memory, it will be set and the connection will be established. This way, you can't have 2 instances for the same user.

The users in memory will exist only if the connection is open. When the socket connection is closed, the user is removed from the list.

Note, I did not test the app performance on a big load of users, so I'm not sure how performant it is.


I wanted an easy way to transfer files across multiple devices and platforms, so I wrote this.

It's a light file transfer app that send files through socket, without processing them on the server, it send the file directly from one device to others.
