Show HN: WebRTC signalling data using QR codes

Thank you for sharing, will keep an eye out for that thread.

I did some research a year ago (https://aquigorka.net/post/how-to-find-peers-in-the-decentra...) and going back to it I found this repo that uses the DHT to connect peers: https://github.com/mafintosh/peer-network

The author is one of the main contributors to the Dat project so I'll do some catching up to see what they've come up with.

Although it uses Tor and is probably outdated, here is a PoC I wrote of bootstrapping a DHT network on the server side and using the client side to discover peers: https://github.com/cretz/tor-dht-poc

I saw you use IPFS in there, are you sure it did not use one of their signalling servers to find the peers?

Used one of my own in Go, in that same repo using IPFS libs. Also, more "bootstrap" server than "signalling" server as its websockets not webrtc.
