Could you build this?
Partial The Windows side and a web-based transfer flow over the local network are vibe-codeable. Making an iPhone send and receive files without a cloud or cable, in the style of AirDrop, is hard because Apple's AirDrop protocol is proprietary and iOS restricts local networking.
What it would actually take: A workable version could use a local HTTP server on Windows with mDNS discovery and an iPhone-side web or native app that uploads through the browser. A true AirDrop-compatible implementation would mean reverse-engineering Apple's AWDL/OpenDrop protocol, which needs deep networking and reverse-engineering expertise.
