It‘s not exactly dead, but also not very active either.

Thanks for suggesting simple-peer. But as far as I can see it does not offer a simple signaling approach like PeerJS. In PeerJS you can just use a simple ID to connect two peers. Either by using the public PeerJS signaling Server or by hosting your own instance.

Worth noting that simple-peer has a companion library simple-signal for the signaling side.

actually it is being maintained again. check the repo.
