P2P

Inspiration

Alternative peer to peer to airdrop

What it does

allows peer to peer file transfer

How we built it

used python to create sockets, and allowed a peer to peer connection to be made and allowed file transfer in the connection

Challenges we ran into

hard time identifying how to discover other users without using a centralized server

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Sharing speed, the types of files we could share(from text to video), multi-party sharing, no delay progress bar between sender and receiver, simplicity(<140 lines of code), resource-efficient.

What we learned

How networks work and how devices communicate with each other and how we can use sockets to set up a connection

What's next for P2P

UI designing, security protocols, integrity verification, functioning mobile application.
