The simplest ones to get started with are "strings", IMO, and also gives you lots of mileage (because it'll definitely test some weird unicode). So, somewhere in your API where you take some user-entered strings -- even something "open ended" like "a name" -- you can make use of Hypothesis to try a few things. This has definitely uncovered unicode bugs for me.
The only real downside is that a Hypothesis-heavy test-suite like the above can take a while to run (but you can instruct it to only produce one example per test). Obviously, one example per test won't catch everything, but is way faster when developing and Hypothesis remembers "bad" examples so if you occasionally do a longer run it'll remember things that caused errors before.
I am not a cryptographer, but can explain that Magic Wormhole uses SPAKE2 to negotiate a shared secret (RFC9382 claims equivalent to gap Diffie-Hellman), and then uses NaCl SecretBox to symmetrically encrypt all data between the peers.
(If using the newer Dilation protocol -- which is true for many of the non-file-transfer tools like ShWiM, Git-WithMe or Fowl -- peer traffic uses this shared secret with Noise, specifically "Noise_NNpsk0_25519_ChaChaPoly_BLAKE2s")
There are Rust and Haskell implementations too (not quite as feature-full as the Python code yet, though) as well.
In principal WebRTC communication could be added to magic-wormhole, but that work has not been done yet. There is WebSocket support in the relay (including "cross-protocol" so one client can be WebSocket and the other TCP). This is only deployed on the Winden.app servers (tcp://relay.mw.leastauthority.com:4001 and wss://relay.mw.leastauthority.com for the relay).
You'd need to use the Winden.app relay server if you want https://winden.app users to reach your Python CLI (e.g. via "wormhole --relay-url wss://mailbox.mw.leastauthority.com/v1 send" for example)
Building on top of various Magic Wormhole features, "shwim" enables quick and easy 1:1 terminal sharing with durable, end-to-end-encrypted communications using tty-share.
The Haskell implementation uses the same protocol as the Python implementation. The main difference is that there are some features the Python implementation has that the Haskell implementation still lacks (most notable "Dilation").
A technique like this is used to do "invites" in Magic Folder, and also in Tahoe-LAFS. That is, they speak a custom protocol over just the Mailbox server in order to do some secrets-exchanging. They never set up a "bulk transport" link.
There is also a Haskell implementation, if that's of interest.
I love to learn about "non-file-transfer" use-cases for Magic Wormhole, so please connect via GitHub (or https://meejah.ca/contact)

Some more complex things can be made with some custom strategies. The most-Hypothesis-heavy tests I've personally worked with are from Magic Folder strategies: https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/magic-folder/blob/main/src/mag...
