How does this compare to something like magic-wormhole?
Is the CLI able to write to stdout (to pipe into other commands, like tar/ssh) ?

The difference here is mainly architectural. Wormhole follows a more traditional P2P sharing workflow and is strictly synchronous — it requires the receiver to be connected at the same time to complete the handshake. Bucket is completely asynchronous and state-agnostic: recipients don’t have to be online or even install anything to receive a file. They can simply click the link your CLI generates and enter the secret key (within the file expiration period).
Your question about writing to stdout is also a good one. Currently, the CLI (client.go) forces a write to disk, but I am actively working on stdin/stdout support. It will land in a release soon. The intent is to support commands like:
$ bucket pull --secret "$SECRET" bkdf1e848ea23e | ssh rocky@10.10.10.2 "cat > redhat92_minimal.iso"
$ ssh rocky@10.10.10.2 "tar zcvf - /var/ /etc/ /usr/" | bucket push --filename="10.10.10.2_backup.tgz"
