Is there a feature you've recently discovered in an app available on F-Droid that might not be obvious to casual users of the app? This is your chance to share it!

LocalSend can be used to share an app to another device and it'll export & share it as an apk file.

I use local send and it's really great. When it works. Which is about 30% of the time. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I've seen heaps of people recommending it but it just doesn't work for me, most of the time I the devices just don't see each other when they are on the same network.
