I like https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole as an alternative.

Neat. Honestly a single binary is a major selling point for me. :-)

This is a single binary that is compatible with the python magic wormhole: https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william

I think they have rather different use cases. FFsend is asynchronous because I don't have to be online for my friend to download the file. But it's also less trustworthy than a system based on PAKE. And if you're sending a file to a Windows or Mac user with average technical ability, Wormhole is basically not an option at present.
