@misir Thanks for letting me know 😇 The server went down because of the Product Hunt love! I have migrated it to now.sh for the time being

Hello Product Hunt, I built Blaze because I wanted an easier and seamless way to share files between my laptop and mobile without signing up for any service 😇 It uses a direct device to device (peer-to-peer) connection to share files across supported devices and networks. Since it's a web app, you don't have to install any app on your device to share files ⚡ I have been constantly working and learning by building this product. Since I started working on it, I have open-sourced this project so that anyone can leave feedback and contribute features ❤️

As a fellow web developer, let me suggest considering Go language as an alternative to what you are using now, and there are plenty like Resilio Sync, Syncthing, etc. Beside, there will be general performance improvement coming in 1.14 that you could develop more than what you could do.

@james_lei Thanks for the suggestions James. I am really considering learning Go and using it in this project in the future.

Did not work at all. Lots of bugs. Please QA thoroughly before even introducing it. What a waste of time. Where's the downvote button?

@zer00 I can understand that it may not be working to its fullest due to the server load. I am currently the only person working on it hence it will take time to further improve it.

Keep at it. Ignore the tone. The early feedback will help you identify issues.

I can only upload 25% of an 1,9GMB Image before the page completely freezes...Idea looks nice, but it does not work. :-(

Uh oh, it seems like you can receive other user's files even if you are not in the same room.

This is awesome!

Across device sharing could be valuable. What is the file limit? Filewhopper can handle any size but it works with PCs only. If there would be an option ta transfer 10-20GB it would be great.

Was excited to check this out! But it's sadly down. 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable

How does this differ from Snapdrop except for an extra step which is connecting to the room?

Maker
@bogdan_kozlovskyi Both are quite similar, but rooms in Blaze would allow one device to share files with multiple devices at once (experimental feature right now)

Site is down.

This sucks, very novice attempt to make it, even 100KB file take edges to get transfer. Many times it gets stucked.

@vijaypalmanit Due to the server load, it's unable transfer files effectively. I will work on fixing it
