+# Fling
+Have you ever missed the simplicity of an USB Stick when sharing data over the
+net?
+
+Zero-friction sharing is a surprisingly unsolved problem. There's no reasonably
+ubiquitous solution installed on everybody's machine. Online providers are often
+packed with features, but miss out on things like direct download urls, a space
+for others to easily _upload_ to you, or require registration from all
+participants. I don't remember any of these things being a problem with USB 🤔.
+
+Fling is a self-hosted file share. It is simple like USB without missing out on
+the good parts of the web:
+- Drop files on a fling and share the URL. That's it. The fling way of life.
+
+Other features include:
+- Choose your own, meaningful name for your sharing URL
+- Share a direct download link
+- Choose to let others upload files just as simple
+- Protect your fling by a password - no registration required
+- Let a fling expire after a date or a number of clicks (or keep it forever)
+
+# Fling is a API
+It gets even better!
+
+Fling is a backend service and a web interface. But you can use anything else
+that speaks HTTP if you prefer. In fact, we generate and publish a javascript
+and python client for the Fling API on every build. If you like it bare-bones
+there is also a querysheet in the examples folder with raw HTTP calls.
+
+Fling also has a code-first OpenAPI compliant spec. O mon Dieu, it just checks
+_all_ the boxes!
+
+# Fling as a container
+It gets even even better better!
+
+Fling is self-hosted. But it is packaged up in a docker container for easy
+deployment. Run `docker run --rm -p3000:3000 arminfriedl/fling` and go to
+http://localhost:3000. Admin user is `adminName:adminPassword`.
