I found transferring images from my PC to my phone very tedious. Using Whatsapp and other such apps reduced image quality and had limitations on the file size.

You also don't need to download a separate mobile app. There's only 3 steps involved - select your files, scan a QR code, download your files. You can download it now for free via https://fyldrop.com

That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
