Ten years ago today, I had the idea for an app I thought was interesting
And 10 years later, sharing stuff with people nearby still kinda sucks.<p>1. Instant Messaging Apps work for photos and contacts, but it's stupid that you need to transfer things via cloud (makes everything hellish slow when the network isn't fast)<p>2. Airdrop works only between Apple Devices, and when the stars are aligned just right. Other devices might appear, or they might not. If it works, it's fast.<p>3. USB drives are still the easiest way to share anything between computers. (SMB / AFS / NFS / SCP / rsync are all annoying to set up and always seem to fail for hard to debug reasons)<p>I think the opportunity for something like Bump is still there, but it seems that most people just don't care enough about the inconvenience....
