Introduction

As a CS student, every time I wanted to show something I built, I had to either deploy it, screen‑share, or send files over WhatsApp. To simplify this workflow, I created RunZip.

How It Works

  • Drop a ZIP file.
  • Instantly receive a live URL and a QR code.
  • No login, no setup, no account required.
  • Files are automatically deleted after 24 hours.

Tech Stack

  • Backend: Node.js, Express
  • Frontend: Vanilla JavaScript
  • Desktop version: Electron
