   A Complete waste of time from a 4 decade mac pro user

   Takes forever to send even small video files with high speed internet. Horrible documentation for transferring instructions. No option in the app menu to choose a destination folder. There's no way to compress all of your videos on an android to send to the Mac, even though that is suggested in their "features". And not 1 single video could I find in 2 hours of google searches that answered these questions. For a company touting such "ease of use", as a 40 year mac user, this was another waste of time app. If the company would like to contact me and answer these questions, if it is indeed an "easy, reliable app", I will gladly help them make a video that actually walks people through the problems I have encountered.

   Excellent way to share a folder with multiple files to another computer

   SnapDrop does an excellent job in sharing multiple files to another computer. Just zip/compress a folder with multiple files and select that zipped folder to send to the other computer or mobile device.

   🏁 Competitors: AirDrop by Apple

• Ask HN: Those who use an Android and macOS, how do you manage sync?

  Https://snapdrop.net/ is a great solution that unlike KDE doesn't require installation. Along with https://webwormhole.io/ they are my go to for transferring assets between systems. Both use WebRTC. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• WebRTC API

  Snapdrop.net is one of many examples of the uses for this API, using it with WebSocket API allows endpoints on the same local network to distribute files and send data between them. We can find the source code for the project here. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

  Here is a list of open source options. This isn't the first time I have shared this on here either. Perhaps this is another sign that web search is failing us.

• Loop: Open-Source macOS Window Manager

  I am a big fan of Divvy (https://mizage.com/divvy/)—while both dated and paid, it has a wonderful feature of a visual tile map you can use. In all other cases I know, there are a bunch of shortcuts to make a window upper-top or something. But in many cases, it is not enough, as I need fine-grain control. - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago

• Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?

  Ooooo good tip, thanks! This might be a good replacement for Divvy [0], which I used until it EoL’d [0] https://mizage.com/divvy/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
