Share used to copy the link straight away, leaving no way to send it
anywhere. It now opens a menu with the link and Copy, Open, X, Telegram
and WhatsApp, plus the link options. The ⋯ menu's "Copy public link"
still copies in one step.
A person opening a single-file link in a browser used to get the bare
file, with nothing saying where it came from. Browser visits now get a
page with a preview, Download and Open, and links to pithos.sia, the
Pithos app and Theseus Navigator; folder pages carry the same links.
Players, embeds and download tools still get the file itself (?raw,
?dl, or any request that is not a page navigation).
A share link from s3d only opened where s3d is reachable, which on a
default setup is this computer. Pithos now makes a Sia shared-object URL
for the file the way the Sia SDK does (the indexer's sealed object, its
data key opened with a key derived from s3d's app key) and registers it
at navigate.st, which streams the file from Sia hosts for anyone, with
seeking, even with this computer off. A shared-object URL reads that one
object and nothing else in the account. Files still waiting on this
computer are uploaded first. A folder gets a page with its files and a
player. Settings lists the links, each one can be switched off.
sia-share is the navigate.st side, in Go on the Sia SDK: it keeps short
ids, checks every URL against an allowed indexer, serves files sandboxed
so a shared page cannot run script on navigate.st, and caps sign-ups per
address and downloads per link per day. Host reads are paid by its own
app on Silent Mode's indexer account.
