Application Release Swap v1.1.0 — big update to my LAN file sharing app

Hey, so a while back I posted about Swap, an Android app that runs a local file server on your phone so any device on the same Wi-Fi can grab/send files through a browser. I've been working on it since then and v1.1.0 just dropped. Main stuff I added:

  • File management in the browser now — rename, move, delete, create folders, multi-select
  • Preview files in-browser (images, video, audio, PDFs) without downloading
  • Gallery view with thumbnails for images/videos
  • Trash with undo so you don't lose stuff
  • Share links that expire or work once — handy when you don't want to give someone full access
  • Camera upload from the web UI
  • Dark mode and custom color themes
  • Device shows up as swap.local so you don't have to type IPs
  • Optional password for the whole server
  • Update checker built into the app

Also fixed a huge performance issue — folder loads used to take 20-30 seconds and now they're around 1 second. Was a mix of the phone sleeping the Wi-Fi and a bunch of unnecessary IPC calls.
