Adding a chat room to any app with one line of code
If you haven't seen it before, Chitchatter is an open source web app that instantly enables private, anonymous communication between people. Once connected you can easily chat, share audio and video, and transfer files. All communication is encrypted and peer-to-peer.

Is there a Walkie Talkie like app for WebRTC?
You could conceivably self-host https://github.com/jeremyckahn/chitchatter (a web-based chat app I made that supports audio calls) and configure it to use a locally-hosted WebTorrent server to connect peers.

I built a tool for organizing unions
Yes, but I plan on adding a feature to enable message authors to rescind their messages: https://github.com/jeremyckahn/chitchatter/issues/11

I built a decentralized, serverless, peer-to-peer private chat app that's open source, ephemeral, and runs entirely in the browser
Thank you! I would definitely appreciate some help with the file sharing functionality. I've got a placeholder ticket for that at https://github.com/jeremyckahn/chitchatter/issues/21, so please comment there if that's something you'd like to work on.

I Moved My Blog from IPFS to a Server
It's because of the kind of content that is shared. BitTorrent serves a lot of content you are not allowed to redistribute, so having an open gateway immediately puts you at risk of aiding the distribution of content. But it does work, someone even made something native to browsers so browsers themselves can share content: https://webtorrent.io/. There are even fuse "gateways" to make it native to your computer and pretend the files exist locally: https://github.com/search?q=bittorrent+fuse&type=repositorie...
IPFS doesn't seem to be used for that kind of content much, it seems to be targeted more towards web-native content (html pages, images, that kind of stuff). It's probably safer for Cloudflare to run this.

Suggestions to host 10TB data with a monthly and100TB bandwidth
If it fits your model, WebTorrent[0] can offload a lot of bandwidth to peers.

Time to watch my favourite ads featuring videos!
Then https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent could be used to actually download the videos in browser, the idea being here though, that you would at least seed out as much as you got. Enabling other's to access videos without requiring creators have the infrastructure to push a video to 1000s or more clients at once.
