Syncthing
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the purpose of syncthing was to keep files in sync between 2 machines. Not to send files nor text.
Text can be in a file. All you do is add to the file and sync. Then add different files and sync.
While the solution is clever, I just wish I could simply type some raw text in a field and ping it on to my other machine.
I do this with Syncthing (specifically Syncthing-Fork, it provides finer sync job control), using a text file I keep open on my phone.
Not the most elegant solution, but is a damn near instant sync.
Syncthing shows up in the share meju, so for files you can share them to Syncthing, then pick the sync job you want it to use. It'll copy the file to that sync job's folder.
