WebRTC self-hosted file sharing

Question

I am looking for the Software that could run as a daemon on a Raspberry Pi-like single board computer to share files to everyone I want using WebRTC.The idea is to generate a secret link on Raspberry Pi, then everyone could download a file or directory over Web App and WebRTC using this link.Is there something already in the Open-Source Software world? Does it make sense to work on project like this?

I think it is a great idea! Sharing files is something people still struggle with. WebRTC's NAT Traversal also could help people connect without fiddling with network settings.A few projects exist to share files with WebRTC, but I don't know how easy they are to deploy etc...

Look at https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent. It's bittorrent, but run over webrtc and fully browser compatible.
