How do they get peer-to-peer discovery in a browser working without server in an intranet ? As far as I know websockets do not support IP finding (though there where some leaks once)

PS: They don't. Was wondering whether I missed something

That’s correct the browser limits us to do automatic discovery sadly.

WebBLE support is on our roadmap though!

However, if you use Ditto in an electron (and soon Tauri) you’ll be able to take advantage of multicast, BLE, P2P WiFi etc… while “feeling browser”-like with your development.
