Awesome! I'm so excited to make use of this.

This is incredible fast, wow. "Send a file in 2 seconds" was surprisingly not an exaggeration! Love how the link is ready before the upload is finished.
@russelljkaplan Thanks Russell! Speed was our #1 priority. We tried to reduce the number of steps required to get to a share link to the absolute minimum.
I love everything about this. Can’t wait to drop WeTransfer in favor of this. Great name too!
@ricklamers This is great to hear! Have you seen our list of differences between Wormhole and WeTransfer? It's here: https://twitter.com/feross/statu... You're making the right choice!
Can you touch a little bit on privacy and encryption? For example if I send a file to a user....? Looks awessssommmeee by the way 🙏🏻
@dudehere We have a lot more information about our philosophy here: https://wormhole.app/about and about our security design here: https://wormhole.app/security
Great UI design and beautiful animations. Super fast too. Congrats on the launch, Feross!
That was great. Love everything. The privacy focused approach, the copywriting, the fun design. What a pleasant experience. Good luck with all!
Ridiculously fast and secure file sharing. Way faster than google drive or Dropbox. Delightful experience and I love the animation! I love the attention to detail and fighting the good fight for privacy. Thanks for making this!
@feross This is insane! Love the UX and UI. And the speed is so good. You might want to add milder graphics for the ones with super anxiety levels. 😅
@iprashantpillai Thank you Prashant! We tried really hard to make the UX and UI something really special! We're working on an option to respect the user's "Prefer reduced motion" operating system setting.
@iprashantpillai We just added support for reduced motion! https://twitter.com/Wormhole_App...
very clever idea - quick and very user friendly. love that the file can be shared before it's even finished uploading, makes it much smoother experience
This is awesome and I've been looking for something like this since Firefox Send disappeared. One question, is it possible to manually delete files after they've been downloaded or set a download limit?
@aimanfarooq Right now we don't offer that option, but that's a great suggestion and we'll add it to the list.
@booligoosh I think Firefox Send shut down because of abuse. We'll deal with that when it becomes an issue. But we have some ideas. We'll add a "Report" button which allows the reporter to send us the bad files for analysis and ban IPs which continually send reported files. More speculatively, we can include client-side malware scanning and use fancy crypto to attest to the server that the files have passed the scan before we authorize upload. Worst case if it came down to it, we could require an account to send files, but we want to avoid that if we can.
End-to-end encrypted messaging apps like Signal manage to fight abuse without access to their user's messages, so we know there must be a way.
Congrats on the launch! @feross
- can you add hardware tokens support to facilitate the encryption
- if you can ipfs as a storage option, that would be great too!
Looks great!.. I wish the background (the rotating one) didn't make me VERY dizzy, though :D
@alfonsopereze We're going to add an option to disable it, as well as detect your operating system's "prefer reduced motion" setting, if you've set that.
