Original Summary

I've been building a small web app called Roomrail, and before I take it any further, I want to validate the actual problem rather than just keep adding features. The basic idea: Create a room → share a QR/code → multiple people join → everyone can share things → the room disappears later. No accounts or passwords. Inside a room, people can share: Text Links Code snippets JSON Images PDFs/files Multiple files at once Everyone connected to the room sees things in real time. There is also a participant list, room owner controls, QR joining, and automatic room expiration. The use case I'm primarily exploring isn't really "send a file from my laptop to my phone." It's situations where several people need to temporarily exchange things. For example: A team sitting together during a meeting, A developer pairing session, A classroom/workshop, A small event, A client meeting. A group that needs to exchange files without creating a permanent WhatsApp/Telegram/Slack group The workflow I'm aiming for is basically: "We're all here. Scan this. Drop whatever you need into the room. When we're done, the room is gone." But I don't know yet whether this is solving a problem people actually have, or whether I'm just building something that sounds convenient. So I'm more interested in the problem than compliments about the implementation: When several people need to exchange files/links/text temporarily, what do you currently use? What's annoying about that workflow? Would a temporary shared room make sense for you? What would make you not use something like this? And if the idea is unnecessary, I'd genuinely rather hear that now than spend another few months building it. I'm still building it, so this is not a launch, I'm trying to figure out whether the core idea deserves one.   submitted by   /u/rainsoil [link]   [comments]
