Snapdrop is a web-based local file sharing tool inspired by Apple's AirDrop. It uses WebRTC and WebSockets to enable peer-to-peer transfers between devices on the same network without setup or signup. The project is interesting for its simplicity and privacy-focused approach, though it faces competition from similar tools.
