In addition to being an awesome piece of software, their self hosted demo server is the fastest web app I have seen in a long time ... and this is while trending on HN !

Amazing.

Now I am wondering, would it be technically possible to build a similar app but based on the syncthing protocol?

I really like syncthing but it would be cool to have a version where you could just easily share specific files with peers.

Ohh that would be cool! Love syncthing but I wish the relay and discovery servers would be part of the same/main syncthing binary.

I've also seen quite a few semi-technical youtubers make videos about it but not mentioning that it uses public relay and discovery servers usually by default (but maybe that depends on the distro). It's not a bad thing but something one should know before using it.
