  Easy P2P file transfer powered by WebRTC - inspired by Apple AirDrop

  

I assume WebRTC or similar could handle this. I just googled it and this showed up: https://www.sharedrop.io/

But - in many cases people need to transfer files asynchonously - either because they can't guarantee both machines will be online for the duration of the transfer, or the other person wants to receive the file at some other time other than "now".

Low latency is still available. Get a fast gaming keyboard/mouse/monitor/NVMe SSD. Use a latency-tuned kernel, e.g. with full preemption enabled. Disable swap and run a userspace OOM killer to avoid the problems this would otherwise cause. Run Xorg with compositing disabled and TearFree disabled. Disable vsync everywhere. Don't use software that caps the framerate low (e.g. terminals using libvte[0]). Turn off all UI animations.

Most software I used feels more responsive than anything from the Windows 95 era.
