Stack

Backend (Signaling Server):

• Express
• Socket.io

Frontend (Client):

• Vue 3
• Javascript webRTC API

How to test:

• open https://wswrtc.netlify.app/ in two browser windows.
• click the button which will only show up after it's been opened in two windows.
• accept the alerts and after it shows connected both the clients are connected through peer to peer webRTC connection.
• Type in the text area to see the realtime connection in action in the other client.

Known caveats:

• This connection is not working when one client is behind a NAT which includes a laptop using a mobile hotspot as well.
• The problem could be solved by using a STUN server with proper config.
