Updates
What's changed
A running log of what's new and what got fixed, in the order it happened. Nothing here is a marketing announcement; most of these entries exist because something didn't work the way it should have, and this says plainly what changed and why.
Contact tickets, readable guides, and crawler checks
Added a D1-backed support submission endpoint, removed empty ad slots, documented the difference between WebRTC encryption and server-managed link encryption, and expanded the guides with troubleshooting and reproducible performance worksheets. The support schema must be applied with the release. Calculated transfer times are labeled as estimates, not measured device benchmarks.
A guide hub and technical articles
Repository commit 127f74a added the guide hub and fifteen topic pages, making troubleshooting and architecture material reachable from a single directory. The October review expands those pages and corrects claims that did not match the implementation.
Trust and support pages made easier to find
The same September release (127f74a) added the contact page and revised the about and policy pages. The original contact form opened an email client; the October release replaces that behavior with a stored support ticket.
Consistent navigation across editorial pages
Commit 127f74a added a shared top navigation pattern and four-column footer across the static pages. The October route checks follow those links, verify their fragment targets, and check that each destination returns actual HTML.
Device and file icons moved to SVG
Commit 6fe0c32 replaced emoji device and file glyphs with inline SVG icons. This makes the symbols more consistent across operating systems, where emoji fonts previously changed their appearance.
Rooms officially support up to 8 people
The landing page used to describe rooms as "you and someone else," which undersold what they actually did. Rooms have always supported group sessions; the page now says so, and shows how many of the 8 slots are filled while you're in one. If a room shows as full, someone else joining a moment earlier used the last slot; wait for one to leave, or start a second room.
Live on dropitover.com
Moved off the temporary workers.dev address onto a proper domain, with a certificate issued automatically. Plain http:// and the www. address now redirect to the canonical https address instead of quietly serving a duplicate copy of the site.
Cross-network rooms actually connect
Two devices on different networks, especially a phone on mobile data, often couldn't find a direct path to each other and sat at "Connecting…" indefinitely. Added a relay for exactly that case, reachable even on restrictive networks, so a phone on mobile data can now reliably join a room with a laptop on Wi-Fi. Connections that still can't reach each other now say so, with a concrete next step, instead of spinning forever.
Rebuilt to run on Cloudflare's edge
Replaced the original server with one built directly on Cloudflare Workers, R2 and D1: no server to patch, no container, nothing to keep running. Link shares are chunked into 8MB pieces during upload and encrypted piece by piece, which is what makes a 2GB file possible at all under the platform's per-request size limit.
Three modes, one page
Same-network discovery, expiring links, and multi-person rooms shipped together as the initial release, rather than adding them one at a time behind a paywall. All three are free with no file count limit, which was the whole reason for building this instead of using an existing tool.
