Show HN: LANDrop – A cross-platform AirDrop-like file transfer tool

First impression, this looks nice! But on Linux dragging a folder into the file box doesn't work, that's a pretty simple but important feature IMO. Good work!

Thanks for not making another Electron based desktop app. Amazing work, congrats!

First off, this looks like a nice project. So please take this as constructive criticism:

1. This really should have screenshots published. Especially when comparing with something polished like AirDrop, the UX is important. You even call this out as one of the features, so it's really odd not seeing the screenshots to support that statement.

2. "Uses state-of-the-art cryptography algorithm" isn't very reassuring. It would be nice to know what standards your using, maybe some details about the underlying protocol.

3. For Android, please consider publishing in Google Play or other stores. I'm not going to enable "untrusted sources" and install a random APK off the Internet.

I agree completely with @tjohns first point, if you're calling out UX as a top point then you really should have screenshots. You should have screenshots anyway.. I dislike having to download something just to see what it looks like. Not having screenshots just makes the barrier to entry higher.

Second point, you really need to make sure spelling is correct (i.e. "celluar" should be "cellular"), that degrades the perceived quality of the product. If I see spelling mistakes on the landing page then I assume there might be other kinds of mistakes... like in the codebase for instance.
