Is it possible to build a file sharing (only for local networks) web app using WebRTC?

  A Progressive Web App for local file sharing

One of the widgets I wanted to build was a local network file sharing widget like SnapDrop. It's also built using WebRTC and WebSockets but I want to implement it without any backend services.

  Demonstration of a browser connecting to Pion WebRTC without a signaling server.

  

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.

  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.

WebRTC might be much, since you need to build a server to handle the client matching and given its local network you could probably just use something like LAN.js or a similar project LAN.js https://nutbread.github.io/lan/ Node Lan File Sharing https://github.com/barissenkal/Node.js-LAN-File-Sharing
