PROJECT NOTES / 2026QuickShare.
A local-network file-sharing experiment: open a QR link, upload a file, and download it from another device.
From this device
to that one.
From a browser.
A small
file server.
Open the QR link.
One running Node host. Browser access on both devices.
A local Express server connects upload and download through ordinary browser access.

My part in the project.
Repository owner, with an Express file server and browser interface available for inspection.
02 / INSIDE THE BUILD
The choices underneath.
Use a QR entry point to reduce address typing when moving between devices.
Keep uploads and downloads on a small local server using Express and Multer.
Expose file management through a browser so a separate client app is unnecessary.
03 / STATUS & LIMITS
Where it stands.
- Devices need to share a reachable local network and the Node host must remain running.
- Password handling and deletion permissions remain prototype features; encrypted transport is not implemented.
04 / KEEP EXPLORING
Read it at the source.
Explore the code and follow the latest state of the project in its repository.
