Ibuilt VaporLink as a student project after repeatedly running into a small but annoying problem: files that were meant to be temporary often ended up staying online forever. While working on side projects, I needed a simple way to share APKs, builds, or documents for quick reviews—without forcing sign-ups, and without relying on permanent cloud storage. Most tools felt overkill for something that should disappear on its own. VaporLink is intentionally simple: You upload a file, choose how long it should exist (1h, 6h, 12h, or 24h), share the link, and it’s automatically deleted after that time. It’s built using free-tier backend tools like Vercel and Convex, with a focus on learning, transparency, and privacy-first design. Files are encrypted, and the system is designed so nothing sticks around longer than it should. This isn’t meant to replace full cloud storage—it’s for short-lived sharing where cleanup matters. I’d really appreciate feedback from the community, especially from other students and developers: How do you handle temporary file sharing today, and what would you want a tool like this to do better? Thanks for checking it out 🙏
