Show HN: Frop – AirDrop alternative for any device (no app required) (mmynk.com)

Hey HN! I built Frop - an open-source AirDrop alternative that works on any device with a browser. Two people connect via a 6-character code and can send files/folders back and forth with real-time streaming.

No apps, no accounts, no file storage - everything streams peer-to-peer through the server. Rooms auto-expire after 15 minutes.

Built with Go + WebSocket backend and vanilla TypeScript frontend.

MIT licensed: https://github.com/mmynk/frop

Would love feedback on the UX and any bugs you find!


"peer-to-peer through the serve" Hahaha

My bad (I should've checked Claude's output :p).

It's not exactly peer-to-peer but the server is really just a relay.
