Lets try magic wormhole with a nice graphical interface.

## what is what:
- `dropship.py` , run this with python3.
- `dropship.glade` , UI file, edit with glade.
- `dropship.css` , additional styling for UI.
## install:
`sudo apt install python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0`
`pip install -r requirments.txt`
## run:
`python3 dropship.py`
## development notes:
### How we handle asynchronous actions
We use the [Trio guest
mode](https://trio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference-lowlevel.html#using-guest-mode-to-run-trio-on-top-of-other-event-loops)
instead of relying on threads because those are hard to manage. Running two
loops (Gtk and Trio) has disadvantages but overall, it offers a very clear way
of organising and executing asynchronous operations.
In practice, this means you need to arrange the following:
1. Wire up your usual hook (`self.drop_box.connect("drag-data-received", self.on_drop)`)
2. In your hook function, call your asynchronous function via the `self.nursery.start_soon` API
3. Define your asynchronous function with `async def` and use the `await` keyword as usual
## operations:
### github mirror:
Add the following to the bottom of your `.git/config` .
```
[remote "all"]
url = ssh://gitea@vvvvvvaria.org:12345/rra/dropship.git
url = git@github.com:decentral1se/dropship.git
```
The `git push -u all main` will setup `git push` to automatically push to both remotes.
### make a release:
`git tag 0.0.1dev$whatever && git push`
The [Travis CI configuration ](https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/rra/dropship/src/branch/main/.travis.yml ) will run [a build ](https://travis-ci.org/github/decentral1se/dropship ) and [publish binaries here ](https://github.com/decentral1se/dropship/releases ).
