Foss app to share files through hotspot with no internet connection (github.com)

i've found this cute little app called photon that does exactly what I need. Unlike snapdrop, it doesn't need to connect to a server. Unlike warpinator, it works.

but I hate the GUI. It's too cute for me :/

What other apps are there to share files through a hotspot.

some sharing apps require the 2 phones to be connected to the same WiFi, we're travelling and a hotspot is our only option.

I just learned about this! WiFi sharing should be more universal!

it becomes a necessity when you leave cities for the coast, mountains or the country
