Dive into Web RTC or write SFU on your own
Here I will briefly go over the basics of how Web RTC works; for those who are interested in going a little deeper, I’ll leave the link here. In order for two peers to be able to provide themselves with RTCPeerConnection, the SDP (Session Description Protocol) protocol is used. The protocol has a key-value structure and is essentially a description of a single peer (the name speaks for itself).

Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
I have worked four jobs related to https://github.com/pion/webrtc and one for https://webrtcforthecurious.com
Two companies used Pion. The other two were just using the protocol (WebRTC)

Replacing WebRTC: real-time latency with WebTransport and WebCodecs
For the WebRTC jargon check out https://webrtcforthecurious.com/
If that still doesn’t cover enough I would love to hear! Always trying to make it better.

OBS Merges WebRTC Support
It is pretty easy to get a one way trip time for packets that is sub-second! You see it with conferencing and other real-time communication things.
If you are curious on the 'how' of WebRTC I wrote a Free/Open Source book that goes into the details https://webrtcforthecurious.com/. Happy to answer any particular questions you have.

P2pcf: P2P WebRTC via Cloudflare Workers
I think that’s an amazing idea. I tried with https://github.com/pion/offline-browser-communication but it requires standards improvements
If you are interested I would love to work together! Join the Pion slack and would love to brainstorm

Brute-forcing a macOS user’s real name from a browser using mDNS
Yes that is (almost) possible!

If the W3C accepted this as a valid use case it could be available quickly.

OBS Merges WebRTC Support
Yes WebRTC does require a discovery mechanism. That is where WHIP/Signaling comes into play.
I have a chapter on signaling here https://webrtcforthecurious.com/docs/02-signaling/
I have an example of WebRTC without signaling https://github.com/pion/offline-browser-communication. Each side has to agree on things ahead of time. Useful for security cameras/IoT/LAN stuff though!

Is it possible to build a file sharing (only for local networks) web app using WebRTC?
I made offline-browser-communication to show how it could be done. It connects two peers without a signaling server and is portable between networks.
What are some alternatives?
web-codecs - WebCodecs is a flexible web API for encoding and decoding audio and video.
snapdrop - A Progressive Web App for local file sharing
broadcast-box - A broadcast, in a box.
Node.js-LAN-File-Sharing - A small Node.js app designed for sharing files while on the same network. Especially useful when you are trying to get a file from a friend and their device has a single Type-C port used for charging.
ws-tcp-proxy - Simple websocket tcp proxy.
awesome-peer-to-peer - A list of peer-to-peer resources.
webrtc-rtptransport - Repository for the RTPTransport specification of the WebRTC Working Group
PortScanner - A port scanner through the web browser.
direct-sockets - Direct Sockets API for the web platform
ebook-diffuser - An end to end, customizable, ebook automation tool
libdweb - Extension containing an experimental libdweb APIs
WebKit - Home of the WebKit project, the browser engine used by Safari, Mail, App Store and many other applications on macOS, iOS and Linux.
