Haven't used it yet, but if this library built on Cloudflare Workers can do for webrtc what PartyKit.io does for websockets (again via Cloudflare Workers), then I expect it'll be a pleasure to use :) https://github.com/gfodor/p2pcf

You can use my project p2pcf [1] to do WebRTC signalling and then sync the cursors by just blasting datachannel messages to all your connected peers. For a project I made that uses this to do far more than cursor syncing, but syncs an entire 3d world with voip, checkout https://webspaces.space [1] https://github.com/gfodor/p2pcf

Very nice overview - thanks for this. Q: what's your take on the path to a possible a web browser based DHT that could be used instead of tracker servers (or anything, really.) I've seen a variety of people trying to figure this out but I don't think any solutions have popped out. I was looking into (ab)using webtorrent trackers as webrtc signalling servers but instead decided to write a cloudflare worker to do it [1], which is kind of a half-step towards a 'serverless' signalling layer. The next step would be to get a decentralized network that allows you to run cloudflare workers off of cloudflare. But a true DHT would be ideal. [1] https://github.com/gfodor/p2pcf

I’m working on this, but for 3D. The essential pieces you may be interested in: - put all UI in shadow dom under the root, so inspector is exactly the html being edited - use the file system access api to allow local writeback to file system while editing - when on the web, connect to GitHub or via WebDAV to write back to origin while editing - collaborate via crdts over webrtc. I wrote a cheap/free serverless signaling system for this: https://github.com/gfodor/p2pcf - you can use y.js to sync the document DOM DM me on Twitter if you want to Collab - this particular thread is something I’m going to be pushing hard on but not for 2D HTML, but 3D HTML. Spatial 3D documents in HTML is likely going to be a major thing with the arrival of WebXR and spatial computing.

Author might be interested in a recent thing I released to use a cloudflare worker instead of webtorrent servers for signaling: https://github.com/gfodor/p2pcf

Yes I think you should spend some time cleaning up your PoC into a real, usable project. Write a nice readme, get it so anyone can run it quickly and easily, etc. In my most recent github project I released [1] I also used DALL-E to make a nice header to the README, which can also help make it feel like a solid thing to be worth checking out imo.
