I wanted to send a file using my phone’s tethering, but I can’t open ports. I got tired of uploading to some service, so I looked for solutions and found this simple app called #croc. I sent the file to a friend who uses Linux, it was easy, but you have to use the command line, and both of you need croc installed. Fast, simple and awesome. #opensource #Linux

Cool, eine neue etwas moderne App für das File-Transfer Tool CROC. Braucht auch nicht soviel Speicher wie die bisher vorhandene Android App.

qs aka quick-send - Tired of wrestling with overly complex file transfer tools? Solution, the hidden gem of A-to-B file transfers.

While alternatives like croc and magic-wormhole often suffer from frustrating UX—requiring extensive manuals, relay configurations, slowness, custom scripts, and firewall tweaks—qs focuses on simplicity and actually works.

Why qs stands out:

Zero installation: Ships as a single binary without unnecessary bloat.
Frictionless UX: No 50-page man pages or complex setup instructions; just run and transfer.
Reliability: Cuts out the hours of frustration and failed attempts common with over-engineered solutions.

If you need a tool that simply does exactly what it is supposed to do, check out the project and its excellent feature comparison checklist here: https://github.com/maxomatic458/quic-send
