  🤝 Build instant multiplayer webapps, no server required — Magic WebRTC matchmaking over BitTorrent, Nostr, MQTT, IPFS, and Firebase

Yep you've got a good understanding of the basic architecture! Chitchatter uses Trystero to connect to public WebTorrent servers to find peers. Trystero optionally hashes SDP strings (which peers use to locate each other) with a password. Assuming each peer has matching passwords, the SDP string is decrypted by other peers so that everyone can connect.

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.
