LocalSend should be a core util of every OS

localsend kinda sucks for sharing files to someone else on a trip or whatever because you need to be on the same network, and on a network that allows device detection. Most public wifi does not.

I figured out a hotspot worked, but it's still miles less convenient than airdrop

oh yah it would be awesome if localsend could toggle a hotspot and generate a quick link for other localsend clients to connect. that would prob require more permissions than apple will ever allow.
