A very simple tool for transferring files between two computers. Linux Windows should just work, uPnP handling, etc - just a crazy simple way to transfer a file without setting up Dropbox, ftp servers or whatnot!

There’s no solution. You gotta have a separate environment (e.g. a docker container) for each project. Each env has its own python version and requirements.txt
Python is putting its fingers in its ears singing "LALALALA USE A VENV" instead of fixing the damn ecosystem. Node and npm proved that a solution exists and it's doable.
Use cases include keeping common (CI, Make etc) configurations up to date across multiple Git repos.
Even better if it doesn't require configuration and can identify files it manages using a magic comment eg # Source: http://github.com/my/repo/file.txt
I wish VLC, plex, video players in general had the ability to automatically sync subs to audio. ( automatically , not manually) We have the technology; everything we need to do this exists. It's just not done automatically, and when using slightly off-sync subs, you have to fiddle with sub timing for ages until you find the right sync. Even more so when the subtitles have different off-sync issues for the whole movie…
Try SubSync, open source movie subtitle synchronization app. Build in feature like this in VLC would be awesome. https://subsync.online/ Discussion on HN (4 months ago): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29794153
Given our capabilities, it's really a straightforward thing to do. YouTube does it automatically (you drop in your script with the video, it auto-syncs everything).
It could even be done for when the language doesn't match, given an auto-translation pass and some heuristics.

(though the usual way it breaks is your python interpreter gets updated and the venv becomes useless)

Throwback to the time when I accidentally did a `sudo apt remove python` in hopes of cleaning the python mess in my PC and broke my LM installation.

Poetry is almost that. It also takes 99% of the trouble of solving dependencies in pip files (though the usual way it breaks is your python interpreter gets updated and the venv becomes useless)

We used to ise etherpad and pther tools and drive for bigger emails, bit they are both not ideal.

I just use good old SMB/network sharing - it's not much harder than setting up some program on two devices. Works between Windows/Linux/Android, fast and good enough.
