This is a tech demo of using WebRTC without a signaling server -- the
WebRTC offer/answer exchange is performed manually by the users, perhaps
via IM. This means that the app can run out of file:/// directly, without
involving a web server. You can send text messages and files between peers.
The code currently requires Firefox Nightly, and doesn't work on Chrome; patches to add Chrome support are welcome. To run it, just clone this repository and open serverless-webrtc.html in Firefox.
