Show HN: Arrow – A Simple Airdrop Clone

Category: cli-tool

Tags: file-sharing, local-network, cross-platform

Score: 3.5/10 (Innovation: 2, Technical: 4, Documentation: 3, Utility: 5)

Arrow is a simple, local network file-sharing tool that clones Apple's AirDrop functionality using UDP broadcast for device discovery and TCP for file transfer. It's interesting as a minimal, functional implementation focused on cross-platform utility (including Android) rather than polished features.

Target audience: end-users, developers needing simple LAN file transfer
