I think the envisioned use case is that you and I meet at PLUG.  I'm
connected via my T-mobile cellphone hotspot.  You're on your Verizon
hotspot, or maybe WiFi.  We want to transfer a big file.

That is just a one-liner for both of us using this tool, with no need
to figure out IPs, who can connect in what direction, and  so on.  As
long as we can both get out to the internet we're fine.

The more traditional solution would be to stick it on a cloud drive of
some sort, or both have access to a common server somewhere.

I would compare it to some of the new cell phone
share-with-somebody-nearby features that makes it really easy to share
stuff with random people you've never met as long as you bought cell
phones that run the same recent OS (hey, at list this new thing is
FOSS and can be installed on anything).
