    I totally get the concern, and I am aware of what happened with Firefox Send. DeadDrop is still in its early stages, but I’m actively thinking about ways to prevent any unethical u…

    At the moment, this website is still in its early stages, but I'm fully committed to finding ways to prevent any unethical use of the platform. It's something I’ll continue working…

    Right, since the client is served from my domain, trust in the code is essential. Encryption happens in-browser, and nothing is logged or intercepted, but to back that up, I’m plan…

    Yup! When you upload a file, you can choose how long it stays — anywhere from 1 day to 30 days. After that, it's automatically deleted from the server.

    I hand-coded the UI and most of the app myself. However, I use AI for tedious functions, writing comments, or reviewing code. It’s a helpful assistant, but I’m in the driver’s seat…

    Well, since all files are encrypted on the client side, I can’t actually read or access the contents of the files being uploaded. That means I can't know what’s being shared. Howev…

    That's awesome — love seeing others thinking in the same direction! Just checked out your project, and it’s really well put together. Funny how we both ended up with such similar n…

    You're right, "passkey" has a specific meaning these days. I’ll consider switching to something like "password" or "passphrase" to avoid confusion. Appreciate the suggestion!

    For now, the file size limit is 10MB, and you can choose how long the file stays — anywhere from 1 day to 30 days. As for privacy and security, everything is end-to-end encrypted i…

    Thanks! I actually didn’t know about Firefox Send until after I built DeadDrop. But now that I’ve seen it, I can definitely see the similarities. Glad you liked it!

    Totally understand the concern — I’ve thought a lot about that. I'm not encouraging illegal use; it's designed for privacy-conscious developers, teams, and individuals who want sim…

    Hey HN! I built a small project called DeadDrop – a tool for sharing files without needing logins or accounts. You just enter a name and a passkey, and your file is encrypted in th…

    Thanks for the feedback! Right now, the effects are applied in the standard RGB color space, and the blending modes directly manipulate pixel values without a physically accurate l…

    You're right! Adding noise can significantly increase file size, especially with high-intensity effects. However, I'm actively working on optimizing the output to reduce file size …

    Glad you like it! The tool isn't optimized for GIFs—it's designed mainly for static images. That's likely why it gets laggy when editing GIFs. I might explore GIF support in the fu…
