P2P Messaging and State Management: Todo List Demo.

a decentralized P2P todo list app to to demo the P2P framework used in the chat app.

It is a wrapper around peerjs. peerjs is good, but it can become complicated to use on bigger 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
