FileShot.io – Zero-knowledge encrypted file sharing built entirely in Node.js #1359

Hi — I'd like to suggest FileShot.io as a real-world Node.js project that demonstrates several best practices in action.

It's a zero-knowledge file sharing server: the client encrypts files (AES-256-GCM) in the browser with the Web Crypto API before upload, so the Node.js backend only ever stores ciphertext. The decryption key lives solely in the URL fragment.

Could be a useful reference/example for:

• Minimal stateless Node.js server design
• Proper use of crypto.randomBytes and crypto.createCipheriv
• Serving static assets securely with Express
