Iroh-drop now has a web client iroh-drop.boxd.sh#drop1ajux6in... If you click this one and I'm still sharing you might also get to listen to a new piece of unreleased music I made recently.
iroh-drop
Hand files to people with one string. No accounts, no server, no hashes to copy.

b5@b5.bsky.social · 3d agoIroh can compile to WASM & run in the browser, it’s just relay-only connections. github.com/n0-computer/..., not entirely sure on files API permissions, but aside from any details there a web client should be doable!
"I miss having a global town square where I can talk. I don't have to miss that anymore, I just have to join a platform that is more humane." Watch the full livestream where miren.dev CEO @evanphx.dev and @chadfowler.com show how anyone can launch and manage their own PDS in minutes with Miren.
And the formality can stay hidden: generate it, never show it. Same “magic”as a heuristic checker, except when it fails the methodology gets an artifact it can read and change, instead of an edge case in an algo.
They're multiplying! mu.social/profile/chad...
Chad Fowler@chadfowler.com · 4d agoCross-platform AirDrop replacement that works both locally and over the internet using Iroh github.com/chad/iroh-drop I have Mac and Windows clients plus a protocol and rust-based CLI. Actually useful already but it could be polished and would love to have more clients.

ATProto builders, I've been having some really positive conversations with multiple funders who want to invest in the ecosystem. The tides are shifting, the interest is here. But, we need to talk. 👇
Excited to have gotten this in the mail today! Congrats @charity.wtf and team on making this book even more historically impactful than the first edition.

Wiredferret!@wiredferret.bsky.social · 7d agoI'm prepping for a Third Loop podcast recording, and this post by @chadfowler.com is making me wave my arms around and send it to innocent bystanders. aicoding.leaflet.pub/3maob46kbz22v It's so much of what we're trying to explain about Progressive Delivery!
Heading home from RubyConf. I had an amazing time. I met lots of old friends and made new ones too. I especially enjoyed helping folks get a CRuby dev environment up and running. We added Array#second, then added an Oxford comma to Prism, and studied YARV. It was really fun!
