I built PeerServer with a friend in 8 weeks last spring for our Stanford senior project -- it's a pleasant surprise to see it on HN six months later.
We are planning to open-source the code and create a brief video showing off its abilities this weekend, as well as fix some of the issues you may be having in more recent versions of Firefox. The WebRTC DataChannel spec has been changing, so it works in FF 22 (beta at the time we developed it) but breaks for some later versions where the API changed. It'll be fixed over the weekend for FF and the latest Chrome -- sorry for the issues some are having now.
