AIMless

A WebRTC chat app with absolutely no purpose, direction, or server

💀 10KB of pure chaos
🚫 Zero dependencies 
🤝 Two users max (more would require planning)
📋 Connection via clipboard (like animals)

What The Hell Is This?

I crammed an entire P2P encrypted chat application into a single HTML file. No backend. No build step. No npm. It's literally one file you can email to your mom (please don't).

Current Status: Somehow works™

Production Ready? nervous laughter

🎪 The Circus Installation Guide

Method 1: YOLO Mode

# Just fucking double-click index.html
# Yes, from your Downloads folder
# Yes, it actually works

Method 2: Slightly Less Cursed

python3 -m http.server 8000
# Congrats, you're now a sysadmin

Method 3: Peak Web Development

# Email index.html to your friend
# They open it
# You're now chatting P2P
# Web developers hate this one weird trick

🤡 How To Connect (Prepare for Pain)

Step 1: The Ritual Begins

• One person clicks Host (the brave one)
• Other person clicks Peer (the coward)
• Both contemplate life choices

Step 2: The Copypasta Dance

1. Host clicks "Create Offer"
2. A wild Base64 blob appears!
3. Copy this cursed string
4. Send it via:
   • Discord (will probably mangle it)
   • Email (boomer mode)
   • Carrier pigeon (most reliable)
   • Writing it on paper (absolute madness)

Step 3: The Exchange

Host: "Here's my blob bro"
Peer: "Thanks, here's mine"
Host: "Why are we like this"
Peer: "I don't know"
[CONNECTION ESTABLISHED]

Step 4: Success(?)

When all three pills turn green, you've achieved P2P. Your ISP is confused. Your firewall is crying. But you're chatting.

🏗️ Architecture (lmao)

index.html (10KB of nightmares)
├── CSS (dark mode because we code at 3am)
├── HTML (two divs and a dream)
└── JavaScript (where the magic/curse happens)
    ├── Copy/paste "signaling" (revolutionary)
    ├── WebRTC (doing heavy lifting)
    └── Error handling (console.error lol)

State Management

let role = 'host';  // or 'peer', we don't judge
let pc, dc;         // undefined until they're not

The Entire Signaling Server

// Step 1: Copy
navigator.clipboard.writeText(blob)

// Step 2: Paste
// There is no step 3

🔬 Technical "Features"

Non-Trickle ICE (Because We're Lazy)

// Wait 300ms and pray all candidates arrived
setTimeout(() => {
  $('local').value = pack(pc.localDescription);
}, 300);

Blob Format Detection (Pattern Matching Go Brrr)

if (looksLikeJson(raw))      // Probably JSON
else if (isBase64(raw))      // Probably Base64  
else if (looksLikeSdp(raw))  // Definitely cursed
else throw new Error('¯\\_(ツ)_/¯');

"Database"

const database = []; // That's it. That's the database.
// Oh wait, we don't even have that.

🎨 UI/UX Masterclass

• Three pills that change colors (green = good, red = bad, revolutionary UX)
• Two textareas for your blob needs
• One chat box (wanting more is capitalism)
• Dark theme (because light attracts bugs)

Connection Status Pills

Pill	What It Means	What It Really Means
PC: idle	Not started	Procrastinating
PC: connecting	Trying	WebRTC doing WebRTC things
PC: connected	Working	Holy shit it worked
ICE: checking	Finding path	NAT traversal go brrr
DC: open	Can chat	Time to send memes

🚨 Security "Model"

• ✅ E2E Encrypted (thanks WebRTC, we did nothing)
• ✅ No cookies (we're not monsters)
• ✅ No tracking (we literally don't care)
• ✅ No server logs (what server?)
• ⚠️ No authentication (your friend might be three squirrels in a trenchcoat)
• ⚠️ Blob contains your IP (share wisely, or don't, we're not your mom)

💀 Known Issues (Features)

"Bug"	Status	Workaround

🤔 Philosophy

"Why would you do this?"
— Everyone

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
— Dr. Ian Malcolm, about this project probably

This project exists because:

1. Signaling servers are a scam by Big WebSocket
2. We were told it couldn't be done in one file
3. Sometimes you just need to chat without AWS knowing about it
4. npm install is for cowards

---

🔮 Roadmap

• Make it work
• Make it cursed
• Make it worse
• Add blockchain (just kidding, we're not that evil)
• Group chat (would require actual effort)
• File transfer (you have email for that)

🙏 Credits

• WebRTC: For doing 99% of the work
• Google's STUN servers: Thanks for the free infrastructure, nerds
• Stack Overflow: You know why
• The void: For staring back
