#62AFAIK, Web Wormhole is the only one of those tools that can be used both as a command-line tool and from a browser. It looks like the site is down at the moment though. https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole https://webwormhole.io/
There exists winden.app which is a magic wormhole webapp. They use their own mailbox and relay so you need to use the right options in the wormhole CLI.

Very different use case. It's for one-off secure file transfers.

#64I’ve used this and localsend, both are great, but has anyone finally solved the problem of making one of these things that can use a GUI (for phones and tablets) and also a CLI (for when I’m SSHed into my home computer and need to send a video to get processed by something)?
If you don't mind unencryption or are okay with encrypting/decrypting things yourself via standard tools (don't worry you could probably create a shell alias to do that for you in ssh)
Then I genuinely recommend piping-server https://github.com/nwtgck/piping-server
Personally I don't really mind the unencryption as I mean I just use it to pass videos or any software and I don't really think that there are any security concerns but its also really easy to encrypt / decrypt as well so I genuinely recommend it
It can actually work out of the browser and in the ssh server by using curl / maybe even wget but no guarantees. Both standard tools.
https://piping-ui.org/ There is this website which has a better ui
And you can self host the server as well and these ui's are just static pages which you can view the source code of

#65How better than Syncthing is it?

Syncthing is for storing files across different endpoints. Magic wormhole sends a file to a computer.

#67I prefer https://localsend.org/ nowadays. Nice cross-platform GUI, "just works". Requires being on the same lan, but discovery of other devices is automatic and there are no alphanumeric codes that have to be shared. It's a good QoL improvement to have "airdrop" between Android and Linux
Thank you for this link. Looks awesome.

#68croc[1] has worked better for me. It supports resuming transfers, which is a must. It is very wormhole like and written in Go. [1] https://github.com/schollz/croc
I've used croc extensively and had no issues.

No CLI yet but mobile & desktop support (yes, including Linux), LAN & online: https://payload.app/
Focused on speed, so good for video. (If your transfers don’t saturate the network I treat that as a failure and a bug to be fixed - please report if speed is ever lacking)
