Hello Sebastian, great little useful tool. I am testing it to write a short review for tools.robingood.com. I have immediately noticed this usability issue: as I went to photograph the QRcode on my laptop screen with my smartphone camera, everything worked flawlessly and I was offered to open CopyPaste.me in Safari. I did. Now is where I got stuck. As the first thing that appears on CopyPaste is a box that invites you to enter a Password, without reasoning, I said to myself: "What password? I don't have any password to access this app. I wasn't given one! Now where do I find it?" This happened two times, as I was scrambling to make sense of this password request. Until I realized it was just a UI mistake, leading me to think CopyPaste.me wanted a password from me, while instead the app was offering me to transfer either a password, a text or file. I feel this interface element needs to be improved and clarified by stating clearly that you can input in the box what you want to transfer. Maybe avoiding the empty box altogether as the first choice. First choose what you want to transfer and then fill in.

Looks interesting! From what I can tell, the major difference between your service and Pushbullet which I use on a daily basis is that you don't store anything on the cloud insuring full privacy on files/passwords etc.. correct?

Thank you @abdulaziz_al! Yes, thats correct. Also, you only need a browser to temporarily connect the two devices, so no need to install any app or extension. This really comes in handy when you don't have full control over the second device (for instance if it belongs to a friend or colleague, or when for instance you need to do a presentation on a client's computer but you don't have a USB-stick or tech-person to help you getting the files on that computer)

Also: a) it is not clear whether the two devices need to be connected to the same WiFi/Internet line. b) it is not clear also from which device to initiate this task? From the one that wants to send or from the one that needs to receive?

@robingood a) the devices don't have to be on the same internet connection b) it doesn't really matter, since you can use the option `share from here` to turn it around. I've doubted for a while if I would make it bidirectional from the start, but for simplicity of the initial interface decided to make it swappable one-direction. Do you feel the `share from here` option is nog clear enough? Thanks for your feedback. Very helpful!

Hi Product Hunt community! The last couple of months I've been working on a small website that solves a problem I kept running into and chances are high you ran into something similar as well: not being able to easily share a password, pieces of text or file between two devices, for instance from your phone to your laptop, from your laptop to a friend's computer or between an iPhone and an Android device (you know, without the hassle of typing it character by character, the need for a USB-stick or having to install some program to connect the two). To overcome this I've created the sharing website called CopyPaste.me and I now made it available for everyone else to use. It's secure, your data isn't stored in the cloud and it's private (end-to-end encrypted, so no way for others to access your data). As long as you have a browser you're good to go! Check it out yourself. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do :)

@diana__dm Thank you so much for your nice words! I had similar syncing issues with iCloud as well and this tool already helped me out a couple of times when I needed to share a file between the non-connected computers. You could help me grow the project by: 1) sharing it with everybody you think might need it 2) Make a one time donation to help me cover the operational costs of the project https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/... 3) Become a long-time supporter of the project via https://www.patreon.com/thesocia...

Thank you @psdwizard! Sharing it today on your community page would be awesome! 😀Every upvote on ProductHunt from your community members will help me to spread the word! I'd love to see this service become the independent private alternative for stuff you prefer not to send through the big tech-companies and platforms (WhatsApp/Facebook, Slack, Google, iMessage etc) and hope the community will help me over time by donating to cover the operational costs!
