I wish magic wormhole used federated rendezvous servers, was usable from within a locked down corporate network, had a .NET implementation with a pretty GUI so that even my mom could use it, came with all major OS by default and was as accepted as e-mail so that I can actually share files with everyone, not just my nerdy friends. Is that even remotely a realistic thought?


I feel like a web clone of it hits some of your goals: https://webwormhole.io/


It does, except it removes a giant advantage of magic wormhole: True end to end encryption requiring only TOFU. The web version downloads JavaScript every time and unless a specific version is somehow pinned by default, you are in principle vulnerable to MitM attacks.


Host your own version and hash all the JavaScript sources https://www.srihash.org/
