🤩 Exciting news! I'm ready to share the project I've been working on for the past 2 months.
✨ Wormhole – the fastest way to send files ✨
Wormhole lets you share files with end-to-end encryption and it's super fast.
Our #1 goal was speed – you should be able to get a link to send in less than 2 seconds. Everything is end-to-end encrypted and the server never knows anything about your files.
It supports instant streaming (no need to wait for your files to upload to the cloud before you can send the link to your recipient), super fast P2P transfer over local networks, and 24 hour file hosting so the link keeps working even after you close the site.
Give it a shot and please tell me what you think!

@ferminrp@giuseppegurgone@feross might be good to include white label in the pro plan. This looks like a good solution for a problem that my company is facing.
@ferminrp@giuseppegurgone@darren_t_jansen Can you send me an email to (my first name AT my first name DOT org) with information about what problem your company is trying to solve? Thanks!

Wow, this looks amazing!! How do you plan on making sure that it doesn't go the same way as Firefox Send did?
(also, that animation when you upload is sooo cool 😍)
@booligoosh I think Firefox Send shut down because of abuse. We'll deal with that when it becomes an issue. But we have some ideas. We'll add a "Report" button which allows the reporter to send us the bad files for analysis and ban IPs which continually send reported files. More speculatively, we can include client-side malware scanning and use fancy crypto to attest to the server that the files have passed the scan before we authorize upload. Worst case if it came down to it, we could require an account to send files, but we want to avoid that if we can.
End-to-end encrypted messaging apps like Signal manage to fight abuse without access to their user's messages, so we know there must be a way.

UI is very good, thanks.
QR code can be beneficial instead of the only URL, when transferring files between desktop and mobile phone.
I am using https://drop.lol/ . I love the easy-to-use functionality. It is not a direct alternative for wormhole, It transfers files directly between clients.
@alfonsopereze We're going to add an option to disable it, as well as detect your operating system's "prefer reduced motion" setting, if you've set that.
Saw this tool a while ago and saved it to the browser. Tried it for the first time today and I was unable to download the received files through the link. It would be great if you could look into this :(
@harsh_gelda Are you sure that you waited until the files were fully uploaded before you closed the tab on the sender side? Also, how large were the files? We don't store files larger than 5GB on our servers – so for those you'll need to keep your browser open on the sender side.

@feross yes, the files were fully uploaded and there were 2 files of 25MB each
@jan_mazurek We don't use onion routing like Tor -- we're not trying to hide your identity from the person you're sending files to. But we do use end-to-end encryption, which, of course, is used in Tor and also lots of other places too.

Just tried Wormhole and damn! it's crazy fast Feross. Love it.
