* `zero setup` = you can get a mostly working setup by just launching the app, without having to install any software or configure whatever
* `a`/copyparty remarks:
* no gui for server settings; only for client-side stuff
* can theoretically run on iOS / iPads using [iSH](https://ish.app/), but only the iPad will offer sufficient multitasking i think
* [android app](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/me.ocv.partyup/) is for uploading only
* no iOS app but has [shortcuts](https://github.com/9001/copyparty#ios-shortcuts) for easy uploading
* `b`/hfs2 runs on linux through wine
* `f`/rclone must be started with the command `rclone serve webdav .` or similar
* `h`/chibisafe has undocumented windows support
