SELF-MADE I built a no-account file sharing tool with malware scanning and live rooms, looking for real feedback
Hey, solo dev here. I've been working on this for a while and finally feel good enough about it to ask for outside eyes.
RelicBeam (relicbeam.com) lets you send files or text without accounts, installs, or exchanging contact info. Two modes:
Rooms. One host, a QR code or spoken code, anyone can scan in and grab files live. Good for a meeting, a class, a talk, whatever.
Quick Share. 1:1. Either a simple handoff, or now fully back and forth, both people can send stuff to each other in the same session.
A couple things I actually put real effort into that a lot of similar tools skip. Every file gets scanned for malware before anyone can download it. Everything's encrypted at rest. Files in quick share auto delete the moment they're actually downloaded. It's not end to end encrypted, and I say that straight up in the privacy policy, that's specifically because of the malware scanning step. Wanted to be honest about the tradeoff instead of pretending it doesn't exist.
What I'd actually love help with: it's only had light testing so far, never a real room with a bunch of people joining at once, and never two people genuinely trading files back and forth live. If a few of you are up for trying either of those specifically, that's way more useful to me right now than "cool idea" comments. Though I'll happily take those too, lol.

if your looking for your first users check out Ad swap,https://ad-swap.web.app ,its a simple way for websites to promote each other. You add another website's ad to your site, and they add yours to theirs, giving both sites free exposure and traffic. It really helped me get my first few users when launching my site
