Which is great, but it doesn't solve the interoperability problem of being able to AirDrop files between someone's iPhone/MacBook and your Linux/Android
How so?
Localsend doesn't support Airdrop.
Okay, but it is a good alternative to it that works cross platform without workarounds.
So yes it doesn't solve that specific problem but it is a good alternative to AirDrop.
Hopefully this workaround is allowed to continue, but we'll see.
Yeah, which is what I said. It's great, but an alternative solution is an alternative solution. If someone is sharing a file to a group with Airdrop, you are not receiving it with localsend.
Okidoke.
