WebRTC-based transport #15

Closed KyleMaas closed 3 years ago

KyleMaas commented 3 years ago

Considering the browser side cannot use createServer() to create arbitrary listening server ports, could we use WebRTC as a transport method (at least a fallback transport)? That way, you could connect two browser-based clients together without a non-browser intermediary.

Yeah that would be super sweet to support. Especially since it just works on LAN I've heard

What would be the proper way (and place) to add this?

KyleMaas commented 3 years ago

Looks like maybe it would be best to add a plugin to ssb-js/multiserver?

KyleMaas commented 3 years ago

Might be easier than I thought, if I can get multiserver-dht working on Hyperswarm:

Yeah that hyperswarm web looks really nice. Adding it as a multiserver plugin should work, then you should have full api of the remote node on connection.
