thanks!

1. Ubidrop focuses on getting the technical bits out of the way. The focus is sharing files without having to signin, exchange pin codes or do any sort of pairing.

2. The app works 100% offline. All files are transferred over your local network and nothing is shared over the Internet.

3. Right now I am focusing on nailing the file sharing experience. Not sure what I will focus on next. Those things change as the project evolves.

On point 2. How do I make it work without internet? App doesn't detect Mac as they're not on same Wifi (there is no wifi)

I see what you mean. It required both devices to be on the same WiFi for the time being.

Making the app work without the need of WiFi is one of the most requested features and in the todo list

It'd be a big differentiator: look forward to this being rolled out.

phone can still run hotspot mode, even when there's no upstream signal
