Croc: Easily and securely send things from one computer to another
I’m currently working on a new version of pcp [0]. Based on croc, magic-wormhole and the likes it doesn’t require a relay. It uses the IPFS DHT as a discovery point to connect two machines. Haven’t touched the currently released code in two years but the new hole punching capabilities of libp2p show promising result so I’m working on a new version.

Found this thing called Wormhole, looks like a pretty good Firefox Send replacement
https://github.com/dennis-tra/pcp It's really really good on the technical side, though it's still a WIP and has no GUI yet (shouldn't be very hard to implement though).
