Technologies Used
GhostShare is a blazing-fast, privacy-first web application that enables users to share files directly between browsers using WebRTC. No middleman, no storage — just secure, peer-to-peer file transfers.
Key Features
- Real-time file transfers over WebRTC DataChannels
- No file uploads or server storage — 100% P2P
- Share links or QR codes to connect instantly
- Transfer progress tracking and live connection status
- Chunked transfers for large files and memory efficiency
Frontend Architecture
The frontend is built with Next.js (App Router) and TypeScript, styled with Tailwind CSS for a modern and responsive UI. Peer-to-peer connections are managed via the simple-peer library on top of WebRTC. We also use Zod for validation and dynamic QR code generation for easy sharing.
Backend Architecture
The backend is a lightweight Express server using Socket.IO for WebRTC signaling. Once peers connect, the server steps out, and all data flows directly between clients. This ensures maximum privacy and zero server load. The server is deployed on Render or Railway, while the frontend runs on Vercel.
Use Case
GhostShare is perfect for anyone who wants to share files securely and instantly without relying on third-party cloud storage. It’s ideal for quick personal transfers, remote collaborations, or privacy-conscious users who want full control over their data.
