The only js-waku<>nim-waku transport currently support is secure websocket.
For users to use secure websocket in the browser without having to hack into their about:config, the nwaku node needs to use a domain certificate for the wss connection.
Which means the nwaku node operator needs to:
Acquire a domain name
Set it up
Acquire a domain name certificate (e.g. letsencrypt)
Pass the result cert and key to nwaku
This creates friction for the node operator.
Solution
WebRTC Direct enables a web app to connect to a remote node without the need of a SSL certificate.
The node operator just need to have a port open for incoming connections.
Check out this PoC: waku-org/js-waku#588 where js-waku is used in the browser to connect to a remote NodeJS application.
Note that nim-libp2p won't handle it any time soon, see vacp2p/nim-libp2p#698
It's currently not on our roadmap, and need multiple months of work. If waku needs it, we'll probably have to give it to a new hire
