# Snapdrop 

[Snapdrop](https://snapdrop.net): local file sharing in your browser. Inspired by Apple's Airdrop.


#### Snapdrop is built with the following awesome technologies:
* Vanilla HTML5 / ES6 / CSS3 frontend
* [WebRTC](http://webrtc.org/) / [WebSockets](http://www.websocket.org/)
* [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/) backend
* [Progressive Web App](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Web_App)


Have any questions? Read our [FAQ](/docs/faq.md).

You can [host your own instance with Docker](/docs/local-dev.md).
