Localsend: Open-Source Airdrop Alternative
There's also QNearbyShare [0], a CLI implementation for Linux, which sadly can't send to Android yet, but receiving works just fine

life [2] - I want to build a file sharing app
Fortunately I found a reddit post which mentioned about a software named Flying Carpet after tinkering with that, and checking its code I found out there is something call Wireless ad hoc network (WANET), it its basically a decentralised type of wireless network which does not rely on router or wireless access points.

Why is building a UI in Rust so hard?
I'm rewriting https://github.com/spieglt/flyingcarpet. It will be public when it's finished and the Android/iOS versions are out but it'll be a few more months probably.

Ask HN: HN people who write meaningful software, how did you learn to program?
I don't really know how many users I have, so I don't know how "meaningful" my projects are, but I have found some of them posted on French, Chinese, Greek, Russian blogs etc., so hopefully they fill some people's needs besides my own.

I learned to program because I was frustrated that after working in IT consulting for several years, I still had no idea how computers worked. I started with "Learn Python the Hard Way" and "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python". Then got a job doing some Windows consulting stuff, and they said they'd hire me as a software engineer if I learned Go, which was a pretty easy step from Python. I'd tried to learn programming as a kid several times and always found it too frustrating. I started working on side projects as a way to learn new languages, improve my resume, and scratch my own itches. The hardest part was coming up with ideas for useful/worthwhile projects. I was super frustrated one day that the easiest way to get a file between two machines that were right beside each other was sending them out to the internet via Google Drive or Dropbox, which made me want to write "cross-platform AirDrop", which became Flying Carpet. If you find yourself wanting a simple piece of software that seems like it should already exist, that's a great project idea.
