App Focus
Warpinator
This episode's app: Warpinator.
It's timely since we're using Linux Mint, and that's the crucible it was forged in.
It's installed by default in Linux Mint 20, and available... in the AUR. Everyone else will need to compile it from Github at this point.
Warpinator is basically just AirDrop on Mac and iOS, but for Linux.
