Linux (seems currently maintained) https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop
Android (discontinued January 2023, may have compatibility issues, but still, actually compatible with AirDrop) https://github.com/MoKee/android_packages_apps_WarpShare
In one hour, a paid app for which there are many open source alternatives,is the top post on HN? Anyone want to speculate?
Please stop claiming to be an "AirDrop for Android" if you can't implement this.

I love Magnet and also paid for it. Coming from Linux to Mac, I _rarely_ pay for any kind of utility .. but I did here. Maybe that says something in itself. Subscriptions for desktop software sucks; but I can deal with yearly licenses .. assuming the app is maintained, you have a chance to actively consider the value you're getting before renewal. A subscription feels far more passive.
I resonate with this. I can even stomach the JetBrains subscription if I rationalize that this is the equivalent for paying again for e.g. the 2024 edition. And they are good about letting you continue to use the software as of your last paid update. I can’t rationalize paying monthly or even annually for something I expect to continue working exactly the same. Continued development on something like that almost guar…
How do you feel about cases where there is supporting infrastructure, but that infrastructure is artificial and just designed to allow subscription fees?
Oof! A very cool thing, solving a real problem I have, but if you're taking feedback on pricing: I could never justify paying for local filesharing. I've been this close to building my own version of something like this, multiple times over (and actually built a browser-based one as a way to learn .net core when that first started), because - like I said - it's a really handy utility.
