No good self-hostable, browser-based file transfer solution exists that works for recipients who won't install any app.

Existing self-hostable options either require app installation on every device (Localsend, Syncthing) or are CLI-only (magic-wormhole). Non-self-hostable services (wormhole.app) can't be run on user's own infrastructure.
