Feature request: Local network device discovery for ticketless transfer #190

Description

@CosVersin

What would you like to see?

I would like a feature that accurately discovers all devices on the same WiFi network that have this app installed. This would allow users to send files directly to these devices, completely bypassing the need to manually enter a ticket.

Why would this be helpful?

When sharing files among a small group of 3 to 4 devices on the same local network, using heavy device-cloning or sync software is overkill. It would be much more practical and efficient if this app could support sending files to multiple devices on the same LAN simultaneously.

Anything else you'd like to add?

I'm not a code whiz, so when I got this idea, I asked Gemini for advice. He gave me some suggestions on security and implementation.

Since it is a Tauri application, to implement this, the Rust backend can handle the mDNS service and pass device events to the frontend UI. The ticket exchange can happen automatically in the background via a secure local handshake when a device is selected.
