About the project

A peer-to-peer file and text sharing tool that creates a trusted tunnel between devices over Bluetooth, LAN, or the internet using Iroh. It lets you send files to your own or family devices anytime without cloud services.

Useful for
  • Send a file from your laptop to your phone without a cable or cloud.
  • Share links or plain text between family devices in the same household.
  • Transfer files between devices over the internet without a central server.

3.6 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 15, 2026, 07:41 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0815September 5, 2026October 15, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-15 (UTC), 06:44–07:32: 12 → 24 stars (+12). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +27 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 0 per day.
  • The repository is 40 days old and already has 24 stars.
  • Hacker News: “Show HN: Flipflop, iroh-powered persistent tunnels for filesharing” — 25 points, 3 h ago.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
