Webtorrent.io is probably the best thing I’ve come to so far with p2p webrtc. Really amazing what came out of PeerCDN.

I think WebRTC is still getting started also :) I love the space, here are some of my favorites. * Open Source classic game streaming - https://github.com/giongto35/cloud-game https://github.com/giongto35/cloud-game * Controlling industrial construction equipment - https://twitter.com/shirokunet/status/1268011883816054784 https://twitter.com/shirokunet/status/1268011883816054784 * Run a web browser remotely, great for low spec computers - https://github.com/nurdism/neko https://github.com/nurdism/neko * Use NAT Traversal to access hosts. No more bastion hosts/3rd party services - https://github.com/mxseba/rtc-ssh https://github.com/mxseba/rtc-ssh * Use Tor via WebRTC DataChannels - https://snowflake.torproject.org/ https://snowflake.torproject.org/ * Fly a drone via WASD in the browser - https://github.com/oliverpool/tello-webrtc-fpv https://github.com/oliverpool/tello-webrtc-fpv * Share files P2P in a cross-platform way. I HATE paying to transfer files, seems so basic - https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole https://github.com/saljam/webwormhole * Access a friends terminal from your browser via P2P - https://github.com/maxmcd/webtty https://github.com/maxmcd/webtty

    Thanks :) I am really passionate about this stuff. WebRTC is really great, but the community is kind of anemic. I am involved with a project Pion that is trying to bring more community ownership (instead of commercial) to the WebRTC space. If you are interested for more check out https://github.com/pion/webrtc https://github.com/pion/webrtc, https://twitter.com/_pion https://twitter.com/_pion and https://pion.ly/slack https://pion.ly/slack

      Ya it seems like good technology. I was trying to think of ways to use it in a peer-to-peer knowledge base sharing mechanism where users could decide which nodes in their personal knowledge graph would be public and figured webRTC might be a good starting point so that's how I stumbled on that page. I've shelved that aspect at the moment but your link will help me with code samples I can re-use when I revisit the sharing aspect of the project.
