LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices
Haha that’s currently a way to explain to people who are used to hosting/sync based cloud solutions that anything that is (a) local p2p and (b) doesn’t need to upload-before-download is much faster. It’s also faster than WebRTC based solutions which there are dozens, WebRTC kind of sucks for large stuff.
That said, the next version will have multi connection tcp striping, which is a lot faster than any single tcp solution in many cases, especially over long distances, similar to some ftp/usenet clients. (Spoiler there will be online p2p transfers. See https://github.com/betamos/rdv if curious)

How Nat Traversal Works
This is an incredible resource on NAT traversal in practice. I used it as a reference while building a server-assisted p2p-over-TCP[1] system. The post covers UDP but all of the theory applies to TCP as well – you just need some SO_REUSEPORT dual dial/listen magic so the code will look a bit different.
The post alludes to this, but I think NAT traversal is an inaccurate and confusing term. I like “hole punching” a lot more as a general term. It gets the message across without the myopic connotation that it’s all about NATs – it isn’t.

Anytype – open-source, local-first, P2P Notion alternative
> In trying to come up with a WebRTC solution, I think I've settled on defeat. The local network syncing works like a charm, but I haven't had any luck in trying to get around a TURN server by using an API endpoint to provide routing data. It would be nice if there were other prebuilts than COTURN (something deployable to a deno/node server would be ideal),
The bad news is that if you want something that works in all instances, you need a relay of _some_ sort, because p2p isn't possible/feasible in all cases. Bittorrent (for instance) works around that limitation by simply having many-to-many peering and relying on large numbers, to be reliable. But that doesn't work for 1:1.
The good news is that maintaining a relay (or TURN, with WebRTC), need not be expensive. Yes, you need a server, and perhaps some IP-based rate limiting, but that can handle a LOT of connections and small data.
I created https://github.com/betamos/rdv for this purpose, an extremely light-weight alternative to WebRTC, but for TCP only (BYO identity, auth and encryption). The p2p success rate is, anecdotally, very high. However, you cannot use it from a web browser.
Feel free to reach out (see profile), happy to chat about p2p whether or not you use this project.

Show HN: Retriever – Securely share secrets over the internet
Would like to give a shout out to LANDrop (not affiliated) if the users are on the local network. I use it. It's very good at saturating the link bandwidth and traffic is guaranteed not to exit the firewall.

LANDrop – Drop any files to any devices on your LAN
Looks like it is not. Maybe someone wants to maintain a fork.

trying to organize study material on ipad
iCloud Drives doesn’t break your file structure, you just drop the whole folders to the iCloud Drives, let it sync, and move them out of iCloud Drive to the internal storage on your iPad. Alternatively there’s plenty of other apps that can do local transfer, like https://landrop.app/. Use another cloud drive service like google drives. Or setup file server on your Mac with SMB and connect it on your iPad: https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/mac-help/mh17131/10.13/mac/10.13

KDE Connect / Air drop equivalent for Elementary OS 6.1
I've looked... but its seems there isn't an application based solution without requiring app indicator support which is something that eOS doesn't officially have. If you're comfortable modding eOS to have app indicator support you can then use LanDrop or use KDE Connect with an app indicator. You can also use sharedrop.io or snapdrop.net.
