mobile client for the magic wormhole protocol

wormhole

This is a work-in-progress mobile client for the magic wormhole protocol. What already works:

• Sending files. The app can obtain a code, exchange keys with the other party, allow the user to pick a file to send down the wormhole, and then actually transfer the file.
• Receiving files. The user can enter a code, view a file offer to confirm or reject, and indeed receive a file. This will be saved in the downloads directory.
• Handling of Android's ACTION_SEND intent. The user can share a file via the app, essentially pre-selecting the file in the send screen.

setup

In order to leverage the original magic wormhole package and also because I was curious whether it will even work, the code is written in Python using Kivy and friends.

# create a virtual environment
# both 3.6 and 3.7 should do, have not tried 3.8 yet
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# install the dependencies
# pip-sync is also fine
pip install -r requirements.txt

# run the (too) few unit tests
pytest tests

# run locally
python src/main.py

# run on an android phone
buildozer android debug deploy run logcat

If you also feel adventurous about mobile apps in Python.. pull requests are welcome :)
