Show HN: Transfer files quickly from mobile to desktop via QR codes

9 points by otherayden 2 days ago

Hey everyone, my friend from university and I built this simple app to handle a really specific use case: You need a picture or PDF transferred from your phone to your PC, and don't want to use whatsapp web / google photos / etc. Here's the workflow: 1. Open qrpigeon.pics on your desktop browser 2. Open your phone camera, scan the QR code, and get redirected to qrpigeon (connected to the desktop's session) 3. Upload / take a photo or PDF from your phone via the phone's browser 4. See the file appear instantly on the desktop browser!

Please give us feedback! We want to make this as good as possible, and potentially get some open source contributions :) https://github.com/leiDnedyA/qr-image-drop/
