Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
Handoff is a GitHub project that enables developers to create WebRTC sessions in the browser and then transfer them to external processes they control. This allows for interesting use cases like saving media streams on the backend while still displaying them in the browser, or running WebRTC sessions in controlled environments. The project provides examples including data channel usage and media saving functionality.
