unfortunately ran into some session management issues after releasing localization, which ended up breaking the subscription page. as a quick fix, switched it from a separate page to a modal.

honestly? kinda like it better this way.

file sharing is here! share files up to 50GB with ease. perfect for collaboration—no account needed for the recipient. just send a link, and add a password for extra security if you’d like.

bit like WeTransfer, but with end-to-end encryption.

tried to make setting it up as user-friendly as possible too. no need for things to be overly complicated!
