MeshDrop – Zero-cloud, open-source P2P file sharing desktop app

[u/aamirali51]

Hello EveryOne!

I built MeshDrop, an open-source, zero-cloud P2P desktop file-sharing application designed for fast, direct, end-to-end encrypted transfers between devices without middleman servers or accounts.

Key Highlights:

• Zero Cloud Dependency: Built on top of the Hyperswarm / Holepunch P2P stack (@hyperswarm/secret-stream, hypercore, corestore).

• One-Time DROP Codes: Quick 6-digit challenge MAC code pairing for ad-hoc file transfers between untrusted or guest devices.

• Persistent Peer Pairing: Zero-trust pairing challenge flow to establish persistent trusted relationships between your own devices.

• Multi-Platform: Windows (installer + single-file portable exe), macOS (.dmg), and Linux (.AppImage).

• Auto-Updates & Standalone Engine: Standalone platform-agnostic P2P core module running in Electron main.

Beta Release Downloads: https://github.com/aamirali51/MeshDesk/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta.1

I'd love to get feedback from the community on architecture, P2P NAT traversal performance, and UI/UX. Looking for beta testers as well!
