Description
Run one command and get a link to a file, a whole folder or your localhost app, served straight from your machine. Nothing is uploaded, there's no account and no size limit, and the link dies when you stop it. Free and open source.

Could you build this?
Partial Creating a local CLI file server is simple, but reliably tunneling localhost and arbitrary files through NATs/firewalls via public relay infrastructure or peer-to-peer connections requires substantial networking expertise.
What it would actually take: The system consists of a lightweight CLI client (likely Go or Rust) and a distributed relay server cluster. The hard parts are secure TCP/HTTP multiplexing (like yamux), firewall/NAT traversal (STUN/TURN/ICE or public reverse tunnels akin to ngrok or Cloudflare Tunnels), and handling sustained bandwidth without leaking resources or being abused for malicious hosting.
