Magical Share files with the light, just with a camera and random QR codes. The app convert your files to fountain code in encrypted form and the other device get this code with a camera and then decrypt to the oroginal file. No wifi, bluetooth or internet is needed. The file transfer also dont leave a digital trace. The play store app is released, app store is under review, macos is also released. I want your feedback about the app and how to improve it.

1. what speeds are you getting real world? seems stupid but interesting 2. why would this be used over any existing wireless technology (wifi / bluetooth sharing) 3. error correction built in? what happens if 1 image is blurry / a small part obstructed for a frame
