I totally get the concern, and I am aware of what happened with Firefox Send. DeadDrop is still in its early stages, but I’m actively thinking about ways to prevent any unethical use of the platform as it grows.

At the moment, this website is still in its early stages, but I'm fully committed to finding ways to prevent any unethical use of the platform. It's something I’ll continue working on as I develop and improve it. Thanks for the co

Right, since the client is served from my domain, trust in the code is essential. Encryption happens in-browser, and nothing is logged or intercepted, but to back that up, I’m planning to open-source the website in the future so anyone can

Yup! When you upload a file, you can choose how long it stays — anywhere from 1 day to 30 days. After that, it's automatically deleted from the server.

I hand-coded the UI and most of the app myself. However, I use AI for tedious functions, writing comments, or reviewing code. It’s a helpful assistant, but I’m in the driver’s seat.

Well, since all files are encrypted on the client side, I can’t actually read or access the contents of the files being uploaded. That means I can't know what’s being shared. However, I’ll be adding clear policies that will allow me to

That's awesome — love seeing others thinking in the same direction! Just checked out your project, and it’s really well put together. Funny how we both ended up with such similar names and ideas. I hadn’t seen yours before launching mi

You're right, "passkey" has a specific meaning these days. I’ll consider switching to something like "password" or "passphrase" to avoid confusion. Appreciate the suggestion!

For now, the file size limit is 10MB, and you can choose how long the file stays — anywhere from 1 day to 30 days. As for privacy and security, everything is end-to-end encrypted in your browser using AES-GCM, so the server never sees your

Thanks! Glad you see the potential — that’s exactly the goal, to make file sharing as quick and simple as possible. No USBs, no hassle. Appreciate the feedback!

Thanks! I actually didn’t know about Firefox Send until after I built DeadDrop. But now that I’ve seen it, I can definitely see the similarities. Glad you liked it!

Totally understand the concern — I’ve thought a lot about that. I'm not encouraging illegal use; it's designed for privacy-conscious developers, teams, and individuals who want simple, disposable file transfers. And like with any

Hey HN! I built a small project called DeadDrop – a tool for sharing files without needing logins or accounts. You just enter a name and a passkey, and your file is encrypted in the browser using AES-GCM. Only the encrypted file is uploaded

Thanks for the feedback! Right now, the effects are applied in the standard RGB color space, and the blending modes directly manipulate pixel values without a physically accurate light model. I'll will be adding tooltip to every contro

Sorry, I just realized you're the author of nuqs—it's a privilege to get a suggestion directly from you! I'll definitely consider adding it in my webapp. Thanks again!"

You're right! Adding noise can significantly increase file size, especially with high-intensity effects. However, I'm actively working on optimizing the output to reduce file size while maintaining quality.

Glad you like it! The tool isn't optimized for GIFs—it's designed mainly for static images. That's likely why it gets laggy when editing GIFs. I might explore GIF support in the future, but for now, it's best suited for

You're right—this tool is designed for people who may not have a background in design and just want a quick, accessible way to add noise effects without expensive software. Adding too many features (as you suggested earlier) could make

I wish I had this tool back when I was learning python. BTW, awesome work!

Mostly aesthetic. However, this tool can definitely help you! It applies various types of noise, which could be useful for synthetically worsening images in your pipeline. Let me know if you need any specific adjustments!

"Open" does feel more intuitive than "Load" nowadays --I’ll consider updating that. And adding effect intensity to filenames is a great idea for easier comparison. Thanks for the feedback!
