Show HN: Open-source P2P file transfer

#1
I have decided to open source this project to increase trust even further.

In case you have seen my previous posts, this is an update for berb.app, a WebRTC file sharing app. My goal is simple: send files between devices in real-time without installing crap or uploading to any servers.

Is it doing the ICE offer/answer exchange over websocket hosted on your server?

Im not a js programmer but index.js has the line: "Signaling server running on http://localhost:${PORT}" -- is that what you're talking about? I think you're talking about the initial connection right?

util.js also contains "copyToClipboard = (value) => {", not sure why that would be needed.

and googletagmanager for tracking error/diagnostics I think? its hard to understand this code without learning the language lol.

Also in privacy.html: "To initiate a peer-to-peer connection, Berb uses a temporary signaling server to exchange network metadata (such as IP addresses, session descriptions, and ICE candidates)."
