LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement.
Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ?
I have used both for a number of years already.

CLI to browser P2P fileshare
I'm trying to find very specific software.I need CLI(!!!) tool like Croc to share files using P2P, but it's very inconvenient to ask people to install same software as me(Croc in this case). Instead i want to get direct download URL, so anyone can download it just by using browser.

What are your "need to have apps" on Fedora? Top5 / Top10?
I’d say wormhole-gui (https://github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui), but I might be a bit biased :)

Computers as I used to love them
> No, seriously. It’s so simple I thought I missed something. But no. After you run that binary, you have a fully operational node of Syncthing. It’s ready to sync with any other Syncthing node, no other setup necessary. There’s no installers, no package management (but there are packages if you want to), no registration, no email, no logins, no password creation, no 2FA, no consents, no user agreements.
The most similar experience I had to this in recent years was using a program called wormhole for peer to peer file transfer: https://github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui
It was refreshing in a similar way; I download and open up the program, a friend does the same, and we can send files to each other, with a code genereated from the program. None of all this accounts stuff.
(For what it's worth, file sending has a similar issue as backup/sync that the author described -- most modern services are some centralized/cloud form, as opposed to the old days of ICQ/AIM/etc. where you could actually establish a direct connection to a friend and send files.)

Error when trying to build wormhole-gui as flatpak
Any reason for not just using the go mod vendor support? That was what I have planned to use in the future. Actually managed to get a working Flatpak. Could do with some tweaking, but it is generally working now :) https://github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui/issues/23

GPG-Tui, a Terminal User Interface for GnuPG
TLDR at the bottom.
It seems the answer is Brian Warner's magic-wormhole. You're gonna see lots of file transfer sites with wormhole in their name, but if you want security you should use the original one, which is BW's m-w.
It is implemented in Python [1], so it's hard to install.
So someone made a Go version of it [2] that has binaries for windows, Mac, Linux, BSD etc. But it's command line so maybe not suitable for lay people.
So another person made a GUI for it that also has binaries for all OS [3].
Also there is an android app [4]. Someone needs to implement an iOS one.

TLDR: ask them to install [5] and [6].

Try it, it's usage is cute and really feels like magic.

It seems like there’s already a GUI version. If you still want to make your own, go for it, but I figured I’d mention this in case you hadn’t seen it.
