Seems like it would be a cool side project to create a minimal iOS app that simply acts as a share target for this. Similarly for android and Windows. That would make it much easier to send. You’d still have to either visit the site or scan the QR code to receive, but making sending smoother would be a dramatic improvement.
AirDrop is one of those things that is truly wonderful in how easily and simply it works, but makes me really annoyed with Apple for not opening it and allowing it to be cross platform. Android had something similar for a while but it barely worked, and Google never put any effort into making an iOS app (which obviously would not have been as good as native, but better than nothing). Bluetooth itself has a function of airdrop-like sharing actually, but it was mainly used for spam and it’s basically nonexistent in modern mobile Bluetooth stacks. Something like AirDrop that truly works well cross-platform but wasn’t easy to spam would be so wonderful.
- rvense 6y agoThere is a very new web standard for registering your site as a sharing target. It only works on Chrome and I assume Apple won't be rushing to implement it. https://web.dev/web-share-target/ https://web.dev/web-share-target/
- jooize 6y agoI want an app in the Share menu of macOS that enables me to send content to any executable (e.g. shell script). Services menu isn't the same and too many steps to set up.
