Hello! I found your site very useful, thanks! but i don't get next - "Securely transfer files without the Internet!"

How to do it on my phone\notebook to generate or\and to scan?

I downloaded source code but don't find a way to run same web page\site locally offline

Can i ask for a guide please?

Thanks

Hi, to run the app locally from the source code you need to have npm installed then run the following commands:

npm install
npm run dev

This will run the site locally on port 3000:

http://localhost:3000

Alternatively, you can just use the already running site that I have hosted on vercel:

Upload your file on this page:

https://qr-file-transfer.vercel.app/upload

On the device that you want to download the file, go to this page and scan the qr codes:

https://qr-file-transfer.vercel.app/download

Just so you know, this is not a very practical way of transferring files. It only works for small files, as large files require thousands of qr codes and it just takes too long. It was more of a proof of concept than a practical way of transferring files.
