WebRTC mode for peer-to-peer transfers

[konklone]

This would enable access to the secret only when the sender literally has the tab open in fugacious where they entered it.

The data would never be stored in fugacious' database, and it would never be transmitted through fugacious' servers. Instead, fugacious' JavaScript would be responsible for establishing the peer-to-peer connection and transferring the data directly from the sender to the receiver.

This is a non-trivial feature addition, but I wanted to get it down while I was thinking about it. Because it eliminates the need for a database (at the cost of forcing transfers to be mostly synchronous/coordinated) it might even be a better fit for another tinier app entirely. But if this project is interested in it, it'd be a fun, useful feature.

That's a great suggestion. I'll definitely look into getting that integrated. Please send any helpful resources this way.
