Mêridian is a high-performance, peer-to-peer (P2P) file transfer application built differently from its competitors. By removing the "middleman" server from the data path, It can establishe a direct encrypted tunnel between devices, ensuring your data never touches a third-party cloud.
Most file-sharing apps work by uploading your files to a cloud server or storage bucket first, and then letting others download them from there; Mêridian was built to avoid that completely. It follows a privacy-first approach where your files are never stored on any server. Instead, the server only helps two devices discover and connect with each other. Once the connection is established, files are streamed directly between browsers using WebRTC, and the signaling server is no longer involved. This creates a secure peer-to-peer connection with no accounts, no installations, and no unnecessary storage — just open the browser, enter a code, and connect.
- Frontend: Svelte (For reactive, blazingly fast UI updates)
- Backend: Node.js with Socket.io (Signaling & Room Management)
- Protocol: WebRTC (DataChannel for P2P streaming)
- Deployment: Vercel & Render
- The Handshake: The Sender creates a room. The Server generates a unique 8-digit session code.
- The Discovery: The Receiver enters the code. The Server introduces the two peers.
- The Tunnel: Using WebRTC, the devices negotiate a direct path (STUN/ICE).
- The Transfer: The file is sliced into chunks and sent directly across the "Meridian."
Meridian is built on the principle of Ephemeral Connectivity.
- No database.
- No tracking cookies.
- Room codes expire immediately after a successful connection or disconnection.
