qrcp VS jc

qrcp? https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qrcp

So I want to transfer some photos from my iPhone to my computer. I found an online tool called qrcp (https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qrcp). Downloaded it and ran it on my computer (Linux user). Then, I accessed it from my iPhone and uploaded a few files to test it out.

I don't suspect it is due to firewall issues, because I am able to run https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qrcp without issue, with all pairs of machines able to access each other on the network with the specified port.

For a slightly different situation where just want to get one file quickly onto your android device, I've found qrcp to be extremely lightweight and reliable.

If you want to do it from your phone, there are online websites which can do this for a subscription, (there are shortcuts for Siri also, etc) and if you are working from your computer, you can just use qrcp, which is absolutely free and MIT License. Nothing beats open source. Get it from GitHub in a matter of seconds, use this pattern to create a QR code which multiple students can scan, and project it to your whiteboard. Everyone will have the files readily.

qrcp - Transfer files over Wi-Fi from your computer to a mobile device by scanning a QR code without leaving the terminal. Its always been lighting fast for me.

qrcp is my go to most of the time

I use https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qrcp. It's very fast.

https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc - "CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file-types, and common strings to JSON, YAML, or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq and simplifying automation scripts."

> I'd love to see programs communicate through a typed JSON/proto format that shed enough details to make this more independent, and get useful shell command structuring/completion or full blown GUIs from simply introspecting the expected input and output types.

You should try PowerShell. It's basically Microsoft's .NET ecosystem molded into an interactive command line. I'm not entirely sure if PoweShell can make full use of the static types that build up its core, but its ability to exchange objects in the command line is almost unmatched.

On Linux you can use `jc` (https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc) combined with `jq` (https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) to glue together command lines.

In addition to my previous comment about jq-like tools, I want to share a couple other interesting tools, which I use alongside jq are jo [0] and jc [1].

> I wanted to write some wrappers for the standard commands that automatically did all this via `jq`.

If you're not already aware of it, you may wish to check out `jc`[0] which describes itself as a "CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file-types, and common strings to JSON, YAML, or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq..."

The `jc` documentation[1] & parser[2] for `ls` also demonstrates that reliable & cross-platform parsing of even "basic" commands can be non-trivial.
