Show HN: Feem – Transfer Files Offline
I live in a third-world country where Internet speeds have historically been very poor and generally expensive.
So I built an offline file transfer tool called Feem, that helps you transfer text, files and folders between your devices without passing through the Internet.
Like other apps in this same category, you need to be inside the same LAN. Or share your mobile hotspot. You also need to install the app on all your devices. Feem works on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux.
What makes our take on local file transfers a bit different from similar apps are:
- Resumable file transfers. This always comes in handy when your large file transfers get interrupted for one reason or another. It also helps avoid the deduplication of already transferred files.
- Full Duplex Support. With Feem, you don't have to wait for a large file transfer to terminate before sending or receiving another large file. We use (C++) multi-threading behind the scenes to achieve full duplex support.
- Chat-like UI. Comes in very handy when you want to view the history of your transferred files. Or just to chat with colleagues in the same office building.
Here's a raw walkthrough-demo video of Feem in action between Android and MacOS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WahFB5FuvJc. We will make a much better introductory video later.
If interested to try it out for yourself, head over to https://feem.io.
Awaiting feedback.
Cheers.
