Feature Request: Automatic Pairing with WebRTC

Can you just make detecting devices without a code based pairing system?

Example: ShareDrop

As I understand you are using Firebase Functions service for pairing codes, which is a disadvantage because it is paid.

That would be a great addition! Either detecting nearby devices with bluetooth or on the same network which I assume sharedrop is doing.

another way to handle this would be have the potential receiver show a QR code in the app and the sender simply scan that to create a temporary connection - the current pairing solution is fantastic for when you want to be able to send documents on multiple occasions, but less good for a one-off event where you don't need/want connections to be persistent

Smart! Something like a button below add receiver that says "Show QR"?

yeah, would be great for ephemeral connections where it's a one-off, one-way send and you don't want to keep them connected long term. Scan the QR code showing on my phone and they get a temporary connection to send the file/files to, and then we forget each other
