Just encrypt the data and pass the key in the url, like so: https://bitf.ly/1b4b7ee4fe39312afbfffbe47d831f99#someaeskey That way, the server never sees the key (it's client-side and fragments don't get sent), but nobody except the recipient can decrypt the data.

that only works if you have a way to assure the JS has not being modified every time the page is ever loaded everywhere. That only works on a content addressed protocol like IPFS

You can trivially ensure that by just downloading the page. These things are usually a single HTML page you can run locally.

Might be just me, but "look I made something similar here is the link" without any more info or mention of how it's relevant sounds a lot like piggybacking off of the success of this thread to promote your own project.

I'm sorry. that wasn't my intent. I just thought that I'd link it for anyone who wants to see another example of a filesharing app made with WebRTC.

Don't worry, this is how HN works and we are able to discover different programs around a similar theme.
