Show HN: SnapDrop – An AirDrop alternative that works on any moderm web browsers (opens in new tab)

Recently snapdrop.net and sharedrop.io had been acquired (hijacked) by LimeWire. The widely used local file sharing feature had become "upload files". This is really annoying, since I have trusted the sites for years. Before I noticed the hijack, I even accidentally uploaded several secret files to it.

To avoid others falling to the same trap as I was, I deployed this SnapDrop instance that is clean and free.
