Hey everyone! 👋

I built a small Python tool called ShareDir because of a problem I ran into during a hackathon at college. I needed to share some files with a friend, but the WiFi was super slow (20kbps!), and we didn’t have mobile network either. My friends didn’t want to install other tools like LocalSend, so I thought—why not make something easy and quick myself?

ShareDir is a super simple tool that lets you share files and folders over LAN or a VPS without needing both parties to install anything. Just run a single command, and it generates a shareable URL and a QR code. The other person just needs to open the URL in their browser—no extra software needed!

Features:

• 🔒 Passphrase Protection to keep things secure
• 🌐 Works on LAN or Internet (VPS-friendly)
• 📱 QR Code for easy access
• 💻 No need for both sides to install the tool
• 🛡️ Blacklist feature to prevent brute force attacks
• 🌙 Dark mode web interface for comfort

If you’re looking for a lightweight and user-friendly way to share files quickly without needing a stable internet connection, give ShareDir a try!

Would love any feedback! 🙌

GitHub:

PyPI: pip install sharedir

(Use Termux if you want to run it on your Android phone)
