 in order to receive the QR encoded raptor codes, and, *voila*, the file has been transferred!

+The desktop app (unix-ish only; developed on linux, untested on anything else, but should run on macos)
+is closer to its final form in terms of UI/UX, though it currently can only transmit. The Android
+app is about halfway done in terms of functionality, but the UI is, shall we say, "hideous":

+I might take a crack at making it less hideous before I start on the mobile transmitting/desktop
+receiving side of the functionality, but maybe not! I often want to transfer a file or text from my
+phone to my desktop, and I'm willing to live with an ugly UI for a little bit.
 
-The mobile app has been started, and I hope to have it decoding QR streams soon!
