I made this app as a convenient and fast way to transfer files from and between my smartphone and my desktop PC using a web browser. In the past, I found it hard to move files especially pictures since my smartphone uses IOS while my PC uses Windows. I often times used messenging platforms such as Telegram and Discord to do this but I find that it has some caveats such as file size limits, dumping a lot files in my message history which I won't realistically need in the future, and file restrictions.

I am still learning using Git and Github, I will update this repo as soon as I have learned and set up the contributing process.
I envisioned the app to only run locally when needed so in order to actually transfer files, the two devices in question must be connected to the same local network

This project was largely inspired from a tutorial by Web Dev Simplified on Youtube. You can view his original repo here
