I’ve always found snapdrop very very inconsistent. When it works is amazing, but it often as not doesn’t see other devices.
LocalSend, on the other hand, is excellent. It’s an app so needs to be installed but it available for about every platform desktop and mobile and is my go-to now.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
This seems similar to KDE Connect? Am i missing something?
It's quite a different use case, it's meant to facilitate wireless transfer between any device through a browser tab without having to have any local software installed first. So think more like sharing full resolution photo to a friend's device who is connected to the same wifi as you by just both of you opening the same url, snapdrop.net or pairdrop.net (fork with more features) or your own selfhosted url.
