webcat
A peer-to-peer pipe across the web using WebRTC and GitHub keys for authentication, enabling direct communication between users.
What is webcat?
Webcat is a command-line tool that creates a peer-to-peer pipe between users over the internet using WebRTC. It solves the problem of establishing secure, direct connections between individuals by leveraging GitHub keys for authentication and a signalhub for discovery, enabling real-time data transfer without a central server.
Developers and tinkerers interested in experimental peer-to-peer networking, secure communication tools, or piping data between machines using existing GitHub identities.
Developers choose Webcat for its unique combination of GitHub-based authentication and WebRTC p2p connections, offering a lightweight, secure way to establish direct pipes without complex setup or third-party services, though it's experimental and not peer-reviewed.
