    It pretty much feels like the file is just uploaded and a link (string) is generated to communicate that over sound. The receiving browser then just uses that "download link" to download the actual file. The file uri also just downloads a file from their servers.

    Just saying, as it's not really mentioned on the site as far as i can see.

    of course with this webpage you are uploading your files to their server as well

    I remember recording a radio broadcast that contained an ATARI 800 XL program, on a tape. That was later 80s or 90s - hipster wifi.

    Been doing this in late 90s, the sound of dial-up modem still haunts me in my dreams...

    This is something with a completely unknown usecase to me but I'm amazed at how good it works and it seems like a really fun project, thanks for posting it!
