Suggestion: Use Warpinator for Linux sharing

[mubashir-rehman]

Background:
Warpinator is an app released in Linux Mint 20 that allows desktops to share files with other desktops having it installed on them. It is written in python.

Request:
Kindly have a look at the implementation of the app. If possible try to use it for Linux sharing.

Declaimer:
I haven't personally used it cuz I don't have another desktop to test. It seems to only work between desktops running Linux and Warpinator installed.

Link:
https://github.com/linuxmint/warpinator

Side suggestion: It might be possible to talk to them ask them contribute to uprotocol, which might help shape it better.

Qt is more common for multi-OS supporting software. It looks like Warpinator is using Python GTK+ bindings. I am not really sure about it right now.

We should discuss this when I am working on the desktop version.

Thanks a lot for giving a look at this. I made the issue so that it would be easy to look into when needed in future.

@mubashir-rehman @velitasali I dont think to waste separate issue for that since i also looking a suggestion @mubashir-rehman
i have ubuntu 20.04 and 20.10 config server firewall has on both devices and allowed each devices connectivity.
after run trebleshot, each devices doesn't detect at all. Other LAN apps work similar "barrier" etc but this doesn't. how to solve?
I also use syncthing but it's quite heavy for me so only use wan file sharing

Past i used nitroshare https://github.com/nitroshare/nitroshare-desktop (c++) it worked well but they don't develop the app then moved to feem but it's proprietary application then stopped to use after short time.

Any suggestion?
