Hi everyone! π Iβm excited to share a project I've been working on called DropConnect.
The Problem: I constantly found myself needing to send a quick link, a snippet of code, or a small file from my PC to my phone (or vice versa). I was tired of the usual workarounds: messaging myself on Slack/WhatsApp, emailing myself, or dealing with ecosystem lock-ins like AirDrop (which doesn't help when you're moving between Windows and iOS).
The Solution: I built DropConnect to be as frictionless as possible. Itβs a completely web-based universal clipboard. You don't need to install any apps or create an account.
How it works:
Open the site on your computer (Desk Display).
Scan the generated QR code with your phone.
You are instantly connected in a secure, real-time room (powered by Socket.io).
Start dropping text, URLs, or files back and forth instantly!
The project is completely Open Source. I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any feature requests you might have.
How do you currently solve the "messaging yourself" problem? Let me know below! π
