Show HN: P2P file transfer using WebRTC

Sat, 11/02/2024 - 10:49am

It's sometimes frustrating to send files among devices. Now you can send any file to any Chrome/FireFox/Safari client that wants to receive it:

Just share your ID, select a file and click send, and the receiving client will prompt to save it:

There is no signup of any kind. You just need a way to copy the peer ID such as by email or text message, so they know who they're trying to get the file from.

This makes it much easier to transfer files among devices. I tested it on Windows and iPhone, it worked perfectly. It does not use the server, it is peer to peer.

Show HN: I made a Rust library for simplified validation

Sat, 11/02/2024 - 10:48am

I’ve created a Rust crate that makes it easier to write programs with efficient validation and strong runtime safety. With operators like And, Or, and Not, you can combine types, and by defining your own Rules, you can write flexible yet robust programs.

I would appreciate any feedback, including any points of improvement. Thank you in advance!

Show HN: GraphQL Zeus 7 – type-safe GraphQL on front end for newbies

Ok, so I've heard the voice of community and added null support and dropped const enums. Also you can fetch all scalar fields with "fields" selector.

Ask HN: John Wick's Gold Coins on Blockchain

Sat, 11/02/2024 - 9:39am

Is it Possible to Build a "John Wick"-Style Gold Coin Economy on Blockchain?

I’m not sure if it’s even possible, but I’ve been toying with the idea of creating a "gold coin" economy like the one in John Wick using blockchain tech.

In the movie, one coin pays for any service, from cleaning up a mess to getting specialized equipment. So, how could this work in the crypto world?

Some thoughts:

Universal Value: Each gold coin has the same value regardless of the service provided, whether it's hiring an assassin, getting medical help, or using specialized facilities.

Exclusivity & Trust: The coins are only used by members of the secret society, representing trust and membership within this underworld. Possession of a coin implies you're part of the network.

No Direct Monetary Equivalent: The coins don’t have a direct correlation to any real-world currency.

If anyone has ideas on how to make this a reality or any related projects you've seen, feel free to share! And if you'd rather not discuss it publicly, shoot me an email at coin@shivamshinde.com

Curious to hear what people think!
