There's gotta be a rule that requires a "Show HN" poster to engage in the comments. Because a post like this one with ZERO comments from the OP in a presence of questions that need answering is plain ridiculous.
Does it work over WiFi direct.. meaning I can send a file to someone on Android without them being on the same WiFi network? That is the primary reason I find AirDrop so useful.
Sharing from win10 to iPadOS (14.4.2) was very flakey. Installed the app on PC and tablet easily, however win10 couldn't see the tablet unless I restarted the app each time. After understanding the workflow, sending files was pretty slick, but janky. I suspect the iPadOS app is only announcing when it opens for the first time.
First impression, this looks nice! But on Linux dragging a folder into the file box doesn't work, that's a pretty simple but important feature IMO. Good work!
Looks neat, nice work. I would suggest changing the download links to have more affordances that they're clickable, it just looked like a table of version numbers to me at first and I didn't realize they were links at all.
Some things I'm missing are: - Who is behind this? A company or is it completely free? - Is there any cloud service used? - What does the UI look like? And please fix the "celluar" spelling mistakes (in different places), it just makes it look less professional :)
Will fix the typo!
Will the Flutter app be open sourced too?
Does it support M1 Mac?

I’m not sure what you mean by there being no public key cryptography here. In the Crypto constructor, a random secret key is generated, and then the generator for Curve25519 is scalar multiplied on the elliptic curve by this secret key to generate a public key. That’s the standard process for X25519 key generation, and it’s what Libsodium does to generate a secret key/public key pair [1]. To establish a shared secret…
The reason I "rolled my own" key exchange is that I'd want to use the IETF variant of Chacha20-Poly1305 in my protocol and there doesn't seem to be helper functions for key exchange for this algo.

If you feel like throwing "newbie" accusations around, it'd be prudent to back your list of grievances up with more than a single link to crypto.cpp. Chances are you misread the code, didn't grok what the op was doing, etc. As it stands your comment reads like a common variety abrasive and dismissive gatekeeping... rant, basically, which is unfortunately so popular in crypto circles. Edit - the project does dearly ne…
> Edit - the project does dearly need a crypto spec. "Uses state-of-the-art cryptography algorithm" claim begs to be described to be valid. It does not need a spec. It just needs to put a small print on "algorithm" and mention that it is using a cryptography library called libsodium. That's it. As for the armchair field marshal cryptographers ranting around and nitpicking "useful projects", they are the same ones who…
Not as transparent since the mobile apps are closed source at the moment.
