I created my own similar tool: https://filepush.kevincox.ca/
It is optimized for the case where you commonly send files to the same devices. For example I have set up all of my devices as well as my partner's phone and Steam Deck. Then I can just tap them and send the file with end-to-end encryption.
It is sort of cool that there is no backing server, just static files. All of the signalling goes over WebPush.
If you are talking about WebPush, technically the browser company provides the backing server
That's a good point, I worded it poorly. The backing server is provided by you (via your browser). In theory you could run your own or whatever you want. But all traffic is encrypted so it doesn't matter much who runs it.
