How it worksShow guide
Introduction
Share a temporary numeric code with one other person. Bestrao’s Socket.IO signaling server helps peers find each other, then messages flow over an encrypted WebRTC data channel — not through Bestrao storage.
Step-by-step
- Host: Generate Code and share the digits
- Guest: Enter the code and Join
- Wait for Connected status
- Send messages — they appear instantly for both peers
Worked example
Open the tool on laptop and phone, host on laptop, join from phone, and exchange messages once WebRTC connects.
Use cases
- Quick secure notes between two devices
- Debug WebRTC connectivity with a lightweight chat UI
- Temporary coordination when email or Slack is overkill
Frequently asked questions
Are messages stored on Bestrao servers?
No. After signaling completes, text travels over a direct WebRTC data channel between browsers.
How is this different from XPortal?
XPortal is a full file room with shared listings and downloads. Pair Chat is a minimal text channel built on the same signaling stack.
