Ich stelle immer wieder fest, daß noch viel zu wenig Menschen magic-wormhole kennen.

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

Comment on your video about #FDroid

1. You don't need to install the F-Droid app targetting older Androids. You can directly install the #FDroidBasic apk, but you need to scroll around and ignore warnings
2. Add the #IzzyOnDroid repo to F-Droid. It is huge and has no weird rules.

I just found out recently that F-Droid has a single and very outdated #MagicWormhole app, while @IzzyOnDroid has 3!

Must have.

Please tell my why this is wrong https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole/issues/700

...or is there really no incremental migration path for all the #Python "sphinxcontrib" packages that use the "wrong" way to create namespace packages??

😱 😱

(This is like 3 yaks deep for me anyway: I just want #magicWormhole builds to work again, and the docs use sphinxcontrib-seqdiag to get nice sequence diagrams)

If you've previously tried https://github.com/magic-wormhole/shwim ShWiM and found that only the "host" could type (and not the guest), we have fixed that!  

So, please try again! Also a couple other minor bugs fixed!

Have there been interesting developments in secure file transfer since magic wormhole? It's 10 years old, so great and tested, or maybe there's something else? I've heard of Croc and Portal but not sure if they are different in any way except small features and language preferences.

Really happy with the internal architecture of Fowl's activity visualization: a series of "Message" objects that deterministically build the status state.

Thus I can easily have a "record" and "replay" option https://github.com/magic-wormhole/fowl/blob/main/src/fowl/cli.py#L462 which greatly helps when fiddling with the console visualizations (record one test-case, replay it until the output looks nice).

Thanks @fina for making me discover this particular Magic Wormhole client application for Android: https://github.com/wormhole-app/wormhole (not to be confused with similarly-named things like https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole)

…it's the only one I've seen actually work properly with the GNOME "Warp" Magic Wormhole app (https://apps.gnome.org/Warp/), unlike these:
* https://f-droid.org/packages/com.leastauthority.destiny/
* https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.pavelsof.wormhole/

Unfortunately it is not on #FDroid, that's why I never found it before.

#GNOME has a magic-wormhole GUI?! I was not aware! https://apps.gnome.org/en-GB/Warp/
