Nice idea with the browser link to share with devices that dont have flipflop on the same LAN. This would be a killer if this would also work via internet! Not sure if Iroh can run in the browser though.

No setup, no signup"]]>Amazing how many people here do not seem to know this.

It is like Airdrop but for interdevice transfer!

PC to Mac to Iphone to Android to Linux to Windows etc. to almost anything that has a browser. Directly, no intermediate.

I prefer Pairdrop though (fork).

Anybody know a modern game with a similar gameplay/vibe ?
