🙀 The problem: I want to make this folder on my laptop available to my friend, but I don't want to upload it to GitHub Pages. 🧀 The solution: If only there were a way to create a Static Web Server and have it publicly available with one click. 📣 EchoDuck is a product I built to solve my own problem. I hosted Static Web Servers on my laptop before, but only because I had access to my local router and I could set those all-important Port Forwarding rules. But what if I'm on a WiFi at McDonald's or I'm on my mobile data connection? Features, a.k.a. the things I needed: ✅ 1 click ✅ No installs ✅ No file uploads ✅ No tracking ✅ Password protection ✅ Local HTTP requests logs ✅ SSL-encrypted connections ✅ Free! (within reason) How I use EchoDuck: 💎 Sharing sensitive information (like bank statements and client work) 💎 Demoing static websites to my clients 💎 Using the tool as a collaborator in Penetration Testing 🎉 The best part: when I want to shut down my Static Web Server, I just close the tab. That's it!

Launching soon!

A very interesting solution, it would be great if it could persist and generate multiple shared links! 🥰

@jaredl If you want a persistent connection, just never close that tab 😂 If true %99.9999 persistence is what you're after, then go to https://www.linode.com/ and get a Nanode for $5/mo This product serves as an ad-hoc, transient, and completely private solution for (very) large file transfers and temporary static web hosting.

Uhhh... I like the UI a lot! So fresh and unique.... But I would also put the "login box" in the centre (vertically). AND I would know why you called it "echoduck"? Were you inspired by DuckDuckGo? 🙃

@g_briel I'll make a video about it soon. TL;DR, it's because of this line of code: echo $frame; Long version: the app leverages duplex connections (websockets) for both HTTP-to-proxy communication (user requests) and host-to-proxy communication (responses). 1. The WebSocket server handling these connections is written entirely in PHP (hence the use of the language construct "echo"). 2. It's dumb as a duck. Meaning, it just blindly forwards WebSocket frames to the HTTP request that's waiting for the transaction to be complete. No eavesdropping. No "secret" S3 bucket, no NSA backdoor, nothing. Just a simple echo statement makes your file transfer completely private. The privacy aspect of DuckDuckGo was, indeed, inspiring. Hence, EchoDuck.
