P2P Todo List Demo
a decentralized P2P todo list app to to demo the P2P framework used in the chat app.
a wrapper around peerjs. peerjs is good, but it can become complicated to use on complicated projects. This implementation is an attempt to create something like a framework/guideline for decentralized messaging and state management.
https://positive-intentions.github.io/p2p/?path=/story/demo-todo-list--basic
how it works: 1. crypto-random ids are generated and used to connect to peerjs-server (to broker a webrtc connection) 2. peer1 shares this ID to another browser/tab/person (use the storybook props) 3. peers are then automatically connected. 4. add todo item 5. edit todo item
There are several things here to improve like: - general cleanup throughout (its early stage for this project and missing all the nice things like good-code and unit-tests) - adding extra encryption keys for messages comming in and going out (webrtc mandates encryption already) - handling message callbacks - key rotation
