   Check out https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qr-filetransfer for computers and phones on the same LAN. Works great, and I'm planning on integrating that functionality into my project which transfers files between

   Also look into Christian monasteries near you. I'm not Christian but spent a silent weekend at a Cistercian monastery and it was amazing. They suggest a donation but there's no charge. Only have to schedule a month or two in advan

   Great project! I'm working on one that's somewhat related, it's basically cross-platform AirDrop (though only for laptops). Seems like mine could really benefit from a method of getting files to phones like this, and yours co

    I was just worrying last night that I've released my side project too early, so glad to hear someone encouraging imperfect-but-usable releases. If anyone has advice on finding users, testers, and contributors besides posting on Show HN

    If you've ever been frustrated that you couldn't move a file over 2GB from Windows to Mac with a flash drive, or couldn't set up a file share because you didn't have WiFi, or find it stupid that we push files up to Dropb

    No apology necessary, I'd love to support Linux but haven't looked into how to configure the ad hoc networking or peer discovery on it yet. I don't think it should be too hard but I likely won't have time to work on it m

    Thank you! That was my thought exactly: why did no one do this when all laptops had wireless cards 15 years ago? And I was really motivated to have it be a standalone binary with no installation so that it can be a convenient, portable util

    It uses a handful of built-in system commands on the respective platforms to set up the ad hoc network, and then writes the file in encrypted chunks over a TCP socket. It's totally possible to extend this to Linux, I just haven't

    Thank you so much for trying it! You're my first tester outside of friends and family, haha. I wanted to use Wi-Fi Direct but Mac doesn't support it so that wasn't an option unfortunately. I have a line about the deprecation
