Takes forever to send even small video files with high speed internet. Horrible documentation for transferring instructions. No option in the app menu to choose a destination folder. There's no way to compress all of your videos on an android to send to the Mac, even though that is suggested in their "features". And not 1 single video could I find in 2 hours of google searches that answered these questions. For a company touting such "ease of use", as a 40 year mac user, this was another waste of time app. If the company would like to contact me and answer these questions, if it is indeed an "easy, reliable app", I will gladly help them make a video that actually walks people through the problems I have encountered.
SnapDrop does an excellent job in sharing multiple files to another computer. Just zip/compress a folder with multiple files and select that zipped folder to send to the other computer or mobile device.

The right side widget is a Toggle Light button of my Volum app. I carry a warm LED string with me wherever I go because I can’t suffer the harsh lighting in most places. The widget helps me turn off the lights when I go to sleep. Source: about 1 year ago
I've done a few widgets for Volum (to easily turn on/off DIY lights and mute speakers: https://lowtechguys.com/volum) and for Sub Sol (to see the next private party: https://subsol.one) Screenshot here: https://f.alinpanaitiu.com/mt37aX/Image.png While they're easy to write because of the new SwiftUI APIs, they're indeed very limited. All I am able to do is add buttons which when pressed, they open an URL. I... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I received the same diagnostic in 2017, which coincided with the year I got my first external monitor for my MacBook. Headaches and eye pain became a more common occurence in the first weeks, until I stumbled upon ddcctl [0] and the fact that monitor brightness can be changed from the OS. That's when I developed the first version of Lunar (https://lunar.fyi) to adapt brightness automatically throughout the day... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Author here! Aside from Lunar (https://lunar.fyi/) all my apps over at https://lowtechguys.com/ are 100% SwiftUI. In my extensive experience, this is the only major disadvantage I found: UIs with hundreds of stylized elements can be too slow I suspect this happens especially because adding style to an element makes the graph deeper (e.g. Text(“”).shadow().colorInvert() means SwiftUI will add three function calls... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Snapdrop.net is one of many examples of the uses for this API, using it with WebSocket API allows endpoints on the same local network to distribute files and send data between them. We can find the source code for the project here. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
Here is a list of open source options. This isn't the first time I have shared this on here either. Perhaps this is another sign that web search is failing us.
