    P2P file transfer using WebRTC▲9

    It's sometimes frustrating to send files among devices.

    Pairlane▲6

It works for: - browser ↔ browser - browser ↔ terminal - terminal ↔ terminal (via an npx CLI wrapper) CLI quick start: - npx pairlane send /path/to/file - npx pairlane receive --output-dir ./downloads Security: - Optional E2E encryption (AES-GCM). The key lives in the URL fragment (#k=...) and is never…
