## What it is
A self-hostable web application that uses WebRTC peer-to-peer connections to transfer files, video, screen shares, live streams, and text between browsers. It includes an admin panel with statistics, monitoring, optional database storage, and features like password-protected rooms and chat.

## Use cases
- transfer large files between devices without uploading to a cloud
- share my screen with a colleague in the browser
- host a low-latency live stream or video call on my own server
- send text and files peer-to-peer without speed limits
- self-host a webrtc file sharing tool with an admin dashboard

## When to choose
- you want fast LAN file transfer with no cloud intermediary
- you need browser-based screen sharing, calls, or streaming without installing apps
- you want a self-hosted transfer tool with usage statistics and monitoring

## When to avoid
- you need asynchronous file sharing where the recipient is offline
- you require a TURN server but cannot deploy one for WAN use
- you need a simple one-file CLI transfer utility rather than a full web service
