[Feature request] Add simple communications between linked devices
Hi. Add simple communication like online/offline indicator message and file transfer between linked devices.
It takes some time for devices to synchronize history I would like to know first of all if they even see each other or if they are even in the state of synchronization or not. As you know its one thing that a program might be slow but its another that the program doesn't give any indication about if it is even accomplishing the task so you know that you just need to be patient or it has encountered some error and is in limbo therefore waiting is pointless. I feel the same way about linked devices. They are there doing something for some amount of time. The program does its thing. But I really have no idea if a message showing up on one device that was sent from another will take a minute, 10 minutes for some reason or I shouldn't be waiting at all because they aren't even aware of each other.
The second part(messages/file transfers) I know that it can be accomplished by just creating multiple unique accounts on each device and in that case I would even have some indication going on but its just too cumbersome. Feels like you just simply should have a button somewhere to switch to devices for the same account per account. Because it can easily happen that I want some file transferred from my phone to my pc that is local to that account. I currently use external big-brother applications for this task or just simply add some note on my phone that when I get home I need to plug them together and transfer the file/msg physically. Now it might happen that it is actually horribly complicated to build something like this because of the whole decentralized async nature of it so it just won't happen. but at any rate it would be nice to have.
