@guerrerocarlos Apparently, GitHub doesn't allow client-side creation of gists. See:

• Because of some security-related limitations, Github prevents you from implementing the OAuth Web Application Flow on a client-side only application. https://github.com/prose/gatekeeper
• This thing worked some time ago but it's not working anymore: https://googlechrome.github.io/samples/fetch-api/fetch-post.html

Thoughts on this?

There's this proof of concept / library to deal with WebRTC from React: https://github.com/roman01la/react-webrtc we can take inspiration from it.

peerjs seems way more robust: https://www.npmjs.com/package/peerjs

I haven't been able to get peerjs to work with React, I'm getting TypeError: u.a is not a constructor 🤔

Ok, so based on the Github limitation, I guess we can pivot from storing anything on Github and start from a much simpler approach of just storing everything on the user's browser, like: https://blockchain.poker/ does it.
