Description : GUI magic-wormhole client that makes file transfer between
computers a breeze
Transporter is a simple GUI for magic-wormhole. It supports drag and drop.
\/ the following is copy+pasted+trivial edit from magic-wormhole's d/control:
.
Magic Wormhole makes it possible to very easily transfer short
pieces of text or arbitrary-sized files or directories from one
computer to another.
.
The two endpoints are identified by using identical "wormhole codes":
in general, the sending machine generates and displays the code,
which must then be typed into the receiving machine. The codes are
short and human-pronounceable, using a phonetically-distinct
wordlist. The receiving side offers tab-completion on the codewords,
so usually only a few characters must be typed. Wormhole codes are
single-use and do not need to be memorized.
--
I assume that this GUI drops support for sending output through a pipe
into wormhole.
This package is a useful inclusion to Debian because it makes Magic
Wormhole accessible to users who are not comfortable using the command
line; this lowers the barrier to entry to file-transfers that avoid
corporate data-mining such as Dropbox, Google Drive, unencrypted
email, etc. I learned of its existence in the following article:
https://medium.com/elementaryos/appcenter-spotlight-transporter-7c9db2472f37
Given that ElementaryOS has a pay-what-you-want Appstore model, and
the upstream developer primarily targeted this platform, I believe
they would appreciate it if their software was packaged with
upstream/metadata containing a "Donation: $URL" field.
CCing the magic-wormhole maintainer and GNOME team, who seem like the
people who would be most interested in packaging this.
'wish I had learned of it months ago so that it could have been part
of Buster!
Cheers,
Nicholas

While this may not seem like a perfect fit at first glance, I believe you
could gain significantly from being involved.
May I share more details?
