A tech demo of WebRTC peer-to-peer chat and file transfer with no signaling server, where users manually exchange offer/answer SDP. It ships as both a Node.js terminal client and a browser HTML client that interoperate.

Use cases

• chat between two peers without a server
• send files peer-to-peer over WebRTC datachannels
• learn how WebRTC offer/answer signaling works
• run a p2p chat entirely from file:// with no web server
• test WebRTC interoperability between Node and browsers
• exchange SDP manually over IM to establish a connection

When to choose

• you want a minimal serverless WebRTC demo or learning example
• you need direct peer-to-peer text/file exchange without infrastructure
• you want a terminal WebRTC datachannel client on Node

When to avoid

• you need a production chat system with discovery, presence, or many users
• you want automatic signaling or TURN/STUN handling
• you need a maintained product - it is a demo last released in 2021
