• ipp-printer – Create a printer on your network.
• peercast – Like peerflix but for Chromecast.
• peerflix – Streaming torrent client.
• peervisionary – Stream p2p content over your local network.
• peerwiki – browse all of wikipedia using bittorrent.
• screencat – WebRTC screensharing app.
• signalhub – Simple signalling server that can be used to coordinate handshaking with webrtc or other fun stuff.
