Could you build this?
Partial A code or QR pairing flow is easy, but direct device-to-device transfer across networks needs peer-to-peer connection handling that is hard to make reliable.
What it would actually take: Use WebRTC data channels with a lightweight signaling service that only exchanges the session code and SDP, plus STUN servers for NAT traversal. The hard part is reliable connectivity across NATs and firewalls, which usually needs TURN relay fallback, and native apps for each OS add packaging work. This requires networking experience, though much of the basic flow can be vibe-coded.
