Show HN: uvx qrdrop – instant LAN file sharing from your terminal

I’m working on some projects that involve moving files between macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS, and wanted a no-fuss, cross-platform way to do it over the LAN. I already have uv installed everywhere, so built qrdrop to run with uvx.From any directory you want to share, run:`uvx qrdrop`It starts a temporary HTTP server on your local network and gives you a URL, a generated three-word password, and a QR code. Scan the code on your phone and you can be browsing, uploading, downloading, renaming, and deleting files through the web UI in seconds.(note: full upload/download/modify was what I originally needed and remains the default, but I added --upload and --readonly modes if you d like a more restrictive experience)
