Could you give us a bit more info about the app itself? I can't find much other than what's on your website, but that's pretty basic.

For example: How do the clients connect to each other? Do they connect directly if someone is on your friends list or does the connection always go through Infinit's servers before initiating the P2P connection? I assume that's the case when links are generated, but I'm not sure from your site. How does the transfer work when the other party doesn't have the app installed? Can anyone access the file if they have the link to it, or is it protected somehow (password)? Can you un-link a file after it is downloaded, or have an option to remove the link after the transfer completes?

As much as I love the site, and how the app looks from the screenshot, there isn't too much information about the app itself. Perhaps have someone put an FAQ page?

Thanks for reading! Infinit definitely sounds like it's going to make file transfers so much easier.

EDIT: Forgot a word.

Also did a bit of searching through the blog, I saw a few things I didn't really like. For link sharing, this seems to work like the majority of file sharing sites with desktop clients (upload to server -> share server link.) Can you delete files from the server, and when that's done are they gone gone or just the link? Also, are the files encrypted on the server and decrypted on download (perhaps via password)? That would be a nice option, provided the encryption is secure enough that Infinit couldn't actually see the files (like Megaupload.) And is there a way to disable the "cloud buffering"? If I want to send a file to someone I'd rather have the app wait for the user to actually connect to me than send my file or parts of it to your severs.

Both of those things kinda make the end to end encryption useless.
