  • use webrtc for comms and DHTs for hello?
• File send/receive
  • How does Magic Wormhole work?
• Collaborative text editor
  • Maybe just handle sync for the file, and trust the user's preferred editor to notice changes?
  • A CRDT seems to be the key piece
• Optionally backend on a shared MQTT broker.
