Build a real-time **peer-to-peer (P2P) chat app** with **Next.js**, **React**, and **PeerJS**—no central server required! In this tutorial, we cover the basics of **RTC (Real-Time Communication)**, **P2P networking**, and how to use **PeerJS** to create private, browser-to-browser messaging apps.

👩‍💻 What You'll Learn:
