What's everyone working on this week (29/2022)?
You may want to check this project out: https://github.com/google/nearby. It is in C++, though. It is a medium agnostic socket over bt and wifi. It seems similar to what you are trying to do.
- Update Windows Nearby Share to be interoperable with Android Nearby Share

Nearby Shares Comes to ChromeOS - Share with Android
No plans for Linux right now. You're right that parts of the port would be easier for Linux than Windows. We have a /platform folder (https://github.com/google/nearby-connections/tree/master/cpp/platform/impl) that has abstractions for concepts like 'file', 'lock', and 'bluetooth_classic'. We're having to rewrite a lot of the core files ('file', 'lock', 'thread') for Windows while we could have reused what we already have if we were targeting Linux/MacOS. But rewriting the radio classes ('bluetooth_classic', 'wifi_lan', 'ble') would have had to happen regardless.

Android's Nearby Share for Windows is here
Microsoft's implementation is open source as well https://github.com/microsoft/project-rome, someone even made an android app for it https://github.com/ShortDevelopment/Nearby-Sharing-Windows works pretty well for me but you can only share from android to windows, not the other way around. It's dev is currently experimenting with sharing from windows to android.
