Re:Better way to transfer files between Windows <> Mac?

Yeh, a buddy of mine raves about Syncthing. I'm trying to build something though for the less-technical user. (Admittedly, I probably won't find less-technical users on HackerNews !)
Windows <> iOS would be a really nice feature. I'm surprised Microsoft didn't add something like that to the Link to Windows app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/link-to-windows/id6443686328

Yes, I probably overlooked this as an option.
However configuring doesn't seem that easy for non-technical folks - i.e. on Mac you need to create new logins for each user, etc.
I've made it as simple as installing the software. Everything is configured by default.

True.
Although I was planning on extending this to mobile devices as well, and also allowing the connections to persist if you left the local network...

Better way to transfer files between Windows <> Mac?
I recently bought my first Windows machine in 20 years (!!) because I needed a NVIDIA graphics card to run Stable Diffusion. But, I struggled to shuttle files back and forth with my Mac in a quick and easy way.I built a little app for myself - I'm calling it Beamhole - where I can simply drag and drop a file on the Beamhole icon, and it will turn up on the other device. (Or you can right-click...

Ok, but how would you explain it to a non-technical person? Like, an analogy.

At the moment, there's not much that is game like. I was thinking that if you had many people claiming tokens, then you might have factions that wanted to land grab from each other. (Similar to what happened when Reddit did something similar w/ /r/place: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnRCZK3KjUY)

Yes, it was fun to make – and similar to milliondollarhomepage. The building part was relatively easy, using the resources I mentioned. However, trying to get users – which would have been the really fun part – is probably 10X harder than actually writing the code. (If code is never (barely?) executed, is it really code?) :)
