    It looks better than RetroShare and uses the regular TOR protocol, which makes it more private than Tribler. Wonder if it’s a operation run by the CIA or from sources you can actually trust.

    Scheduled Sharing also looks nice – could be used as a dead man’s switch distributing the key to your password manager to loved ones in the event of your death or something like that. Wonder if you can start that as a systemd service so you can host it on a non-GUI server.

      That’s the guy who develops it. The whole code is open sourced and anyone can host it so even if the CIA paid for development I doubt it would be compromised unless Tor is compromised.

        I know, but the web of trust (“I trust the code written by someone who is trusted by someone who is trusted by a friend”) is broken by design. One should audit the whole TOR and OnionShare code before doing anything which might get them into trouble.
