I noticed the switch to disable P2P realtime channels for webxdc apps disappeared.

Is it planned to make wider user of Iroh? Delta Chat already ships with it. And the assumed use case for DC is already high-trust groups and people (so leaking IP isn’t a big deal with that assumption).

TL;DR let’s make a library that makes apps that rely on WebRTC work. Me and @adbenitez had this idea. The apps themselves wouldn’t have to utilize any webxdc APIs, it will be hidden behind the WebRTC polyfill we’ll hav… --- ## [Label for apps which use realtime chat](https://forum.delta.chat/t/label-for-apps-which-use-realtime-chat/3484)
