I tried to use it with my linux laptop but it didn't work. It assumes you're in the same wifi and that the usual broadcasting works, right? This is not what airdrop does.

Airdrop is fast and works by physical proximity. You don't need to be in the same wifi, just near each other. That's what makes it so useful, otherwise I could just use a cloud solutions as I usually have internet access when I'm in a wifi.

When I see comments like this one, I think that we should do Show HN posts like: 'I intend to build an app Airdrop-for-Android, what are the most important features' ;-)

It feels like very often when I see a Show HN project, the HN comments point out some critical missing feature.

From the original post

>Both devices need to be on the same WiFi network or Hot Spot to be able to see each other.

I didn't see that, too bad!
