@jfml one that's annoying I meet my friend at a coffee shop she wants to send me a 1GB file, we have a USB-C cable that can connect the two laptops together. So she uploads the 1GB file to a website and sends me a URL

@ada Oh, just imagine if that would work! Amazing!

I still remember this app that wanted to do file transfer via sound, super cool idea but I don't know if they ever got it to work. And I can't find it now … Oh right, in the end they obviously only used sound to magically connect to a server that then did the file transfers +___+

@jfml a neater solution would be to use the sound to do offline signaling and then connect p2p with WebRTC

@ada @kuba @jfml

So you want to share files between two devices?

Where's the money in that?
Why would any company support such a feature?

I just can't imagine, how that would work economically.

@kuba @ada @jfml if they are both macs, I think so, but heterogenous setups need not apply
