jfsendit: A browser-to-browser file transfer tool using encrypted WebRTC with no server uploads

Summary
The article introduces "jfsendit" (just f***ing send it), a browser-to-browser file transfer tool built by the author after frustration with cloud-based file sharing. It uses encrypted WebRTC connections to stream files directly between browsers without uploading to a server, supporting large files (multi-GB), folders, and resume capability. No account or storage is needed — only a short code is exchanged via the author's server to establish the peer-to-peer connection.

The bytes go straight from your browser to theirs over an encrypted WebRTC connection — they never get uploaded to or stored on a server.
Drop a file, get a short code, share it. The file streams straight from your browser to theirs — no upload, no server, no account, nothing stored.
