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 * Controlling industrial construction equipment - https://twitter.com/shirokunet/status/1268011883816054784 * Run a web browser remotely, great for low spec computers - https://github.com/nurdism/neko * Use NAT Traversal to access hosts. No more bastion hosts/3rd party services - https://github.com/mxseba/rtc-ssh * Use Tor via WebRTC DataChannels - https://snowflake.torproject.org/ * Fly a drone via WASD in the browser - 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 * Access a friends terminal from your browser via P2P - https://github

In Peer-to-Peer Communications with WebRTC
This is only a personal anecdote, I had two occasions to use it at work: - I wanted to setup ssh access to some machines in a complicated network in a shared office, over which I had no control. After trying various NAT traversal hacks, I realized the potential of WebRTC to do all that for me, and setup ssh over webrtc. I made it from a bunch of hacks, but some people seem to have built that properly now, ex: https://github.com/mxseba/rtc-ssh - I built some tech demos that needed to run on multiple OS and use the webcam. Initially I relied on opencv, but I needed to dockerize things and outside of Linux the webcam device passthrough is a pain. Instead I made a simple webpage fetching the video feed and talking to a python backend (using this great library: https://github.com/aiortc/aiortc), and it worked nicely. It also has been surprisin
