That’s my bad for writing it poorly. I meant to say that about the premise of not needing internet, since someone who has internet on both devices might have better ways to transfer the files.

Someone would need to plan ahead and install the PWA (or some compatible tool) in order for this to work

I wouldn’t use this day to day, but what I found cool was:

• it can’t be detected by anything, assuming you toss a blanket over the transfer

The downside is that if you wanted to get it truly offline, you would need to have the an app installed on both devices ahead of time, if I understood it correctly. (Edit: bolded bits are new)

It did lead to some fun discussion in this thread :)
