What do you think a more simple/modern WebRTC looks like?

Do you want a new PeerConnection API? Are you annoyed with the Offer/Answer model? Do you have beef with the protocols. The possibility are endless :)

In a nutshell, ideally `peer.connect(remoteId)`. An API like peer-js/simple-peer. And symmetric negotiation would be great as well.

WebRTC should be the universal networking primitive for the next phase of the web, but the API exposes too many implementation details – its abstractions leak.

This plus the overall weight of integrations limit mass adoption by developers.
