Solves a need, but Apple (if you use both a Mac and iOS) and Pushbullet can do similar functionality way better. Still, I'm glad people are building these sorts of things.

Yup. Pushbullet is one my favorite and most used app.

Sounds like a cool idea, but the site is not loading for me (stuck on loading spinner, no errors in console) - in Firefox/Mac.

Syncing content is a pain - the most convenient way I have of sharing data between my iphone and my mac is taking a photo of the screen! It takes 1 second and I don't have to open anything on my desktop.

Obviously that's a hack, so anything to make this process easier sounds good to me!

Thanks for trying it! I'll fix that asap.

[Edit]: Oops, can't duplicate on my Firefox/Mac. By chance do you see a console error (before I can add Sentry to the site)?

(Not the GP) I had the same stuck on spinner issue until I white listed the site in Disconnect (FF 36 on OSX).

Now it's white listed the page loads fully, with one warning in the web console, concerning https://www.facebook.com/v2.2/plugins/login_button.php?...:

This site makes use of a SHA-1 Certificate; it's recommended you use certificates with signature algorithms that use hash functions stronger than SHA-1.

Yep, sorry - was the "Disconnect" plugin. Sorry for the false report.

Cool idea for a simple problem that I commonly encounter myself. I'd try it if I had a Facebook account. Other commenters mention existing apps with this functionality built in, but I like seeing these stripped-down solutions if you don't have, want or need the other apps. Which is sort of why the Facebook requirement is disappointing.

I went back and forth on the Facebook thing. I think my generation cares a lot more about it than the younger generations - on the whole they just don't seem to care at all. FB is the absolute easiest - just one click and it's done. At the end of the day, that was the most compelling reason. It's open source, so if you want to help add other options... :)

Please don't. There are other ways to archive this, simple username and password using passport middleware for example. Forcing to connect to facebook just for a security manner seems lazy.

Great app and great idea. Love how simple it is.

I made something similar a year ago. You just have to be on the same local network. https://zach-share.herokuapp.com/

Cool. I use Google Keep for this.

Always wanted this. Wanted to build myself but never happened. Good job!
