About glisse
glisse is a lightweight web app that lets people share files and text directly between browsers. The goal is simple: make private, peer-to-peer transfers easy and ephemeral — no file storage, no accounts.
What is WebRTC?
WebRTC is a set of browser APIs that enable real-time, peer-to-peer communication (audio, video and arbitrary data) between browsers. It provides encrypted channels and a way for two clients to exchange data directly without routing content through your server. Learn more at webrtc.org or the MDN WebRTC guide.
Why glisse exists
How many times have you emailed a file to yourself, or sent it via a messaging app just to move it between devices? glisse exists to simplify that exact workflow: quick, direct device-to-device transfers without accounts or persistent storage. Start a session in each browser, connect peers, and send files directly — end-to-end encrypted and ephemeral.
Combien de fois vous êtes-vous envoyé un fichier par e‑mail ou via WhatsApp pour le récupérer sur un autre appareil ? glisse rend ce processus simple et privé : transferts navigateur‑à‑navigateur, chiffrés et temporaires — aucune donnée conservée sur nos serveurs.
Quick notes
- No accounts or persistent storage.
- Files flow peer-to-peer via WebRTC data channels.
- Signalling server only coordinates connections.
