What does this do can you elaborate?

It's an image gallery, but without the gallery server.

Think of it as a "RAM-only, ephemeral Bittorrent for art." Instead of uploading images to a server (like Imgur or S3), you broadcast them directly from your browser to other peers viewing the same "room."

How it works:

1. No Storage: The server is just a dumb signal relay (Rust/Axum). It stores 0 bytes.

2. Presence is Storage: The images exist only in the browser memory of active peers.

3. Sovereign: If you close the tab, your "hosting" stops. There is no central admin to censor content, and no hosting bill to pay.

It allows communities to share high-fidelity art autonomously, without relying on (or fearing) centralized platforms.
