Have multiple machines with different operating systems and want to quickly send files between them?
I just found out about Sendme which is open source and also allows you to add the feature to your own software.
sendme works by connecting sender and receiver directly, so there's no need to upload to a server, which means no cost!
It's like scp without needing to know the IP address. Add some files to sendme, and it will give you a pastable ticket that you can give to anyone who needs your files. Sendme will connect your devices directly & transfer the data without any accounts or configuration.
Installing is simple, just by entering:
curl -fsSL https://iroh.computer/sendme.sh | sh
Then to send a file/folder:
sendme send ~/photos
and then on the receiving machine ...
sendme receive TICKETCODE

That sounds useful. It can be hard moving files around.
There was some mobile app years ago where you could transfer stuff by just bumping the phones together. I never made real use of it though.
We use airdrop a lot on iPhone/Mac but I have windows and Linux, plus remote servers, so this will hopefully fill those gaps
