ios and desktops

[gedw99]

any plans to extend support of the File Picker ?

I think i saw somewhere talk of a file reader package as part of GIO x repo happening, but not sure.

Would be cool if this file transfer tool worked on other Os's

maybe this ? https://github.com/gioui/gio-x/blob/main/explorer/README.md

I would like to support iOS.

There's already a good Magic Wormhole desktop app: https://github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui

I Gio supports web , all desktops and all mobiles.

Nice ! Fyne also works on mobile

i prefer the gio approach as it also supports web and I like it’s architecture more

[psanford]

The browser's security model is incompatible with Magic Wormhole's transport protocols as they exist today, so even if we had a build targeting wasm, it wouldn't actually work.

iOS is the highest priority of other platforms I want to support.

I would consider taking a patch to add desktop support via the existing platform abstraction if someone wants to do that. But again, wormhole-gui already exists and offers a better experience for desktop than what you would get from wormhole-william-mobile on desktop.

Oh I read about web sockets being added to the relay. Must have misunderstood?

the Fyne one looks ok

i think I can make a gio one that works on web , desktop and mobile .

the gio system is very easy to use and web sockets work great

just make sure it’s not gorilla web sockets as that won’t compile to wasm.

[psanford]

Websockets are only used to talk to the rendezvous/mailbox server. To actually do a file transfer wormhole uses its own protocol on top of tcp.

ok i see. Yep web wont work.

btw where is the server / relay code ? Is it golang ?

Btw dont know if your on Mac, but https://github.com/psanford/wormhole-william-mobile works fine on mac when i tested it now. I could do a transfer to the CLI of text.

just the file explorer missing, which is being worked on now in gio repo. Then file sending will be possible to support.

I tried the fyne version. Yes all the functions work, but i definitely prefer the gio looks and feel.
