can i establish connection between two devices just sharing id manually without any server?
is this possible in simple peer?
Technically but you'd also wanna share ice servers as well which would be more of a pain, guess if you wrapped it all in one big JSON and copy and pasted a few times but wouldn't be good UX.
I have even made a demonstration about this: it requires two devices with camera.

Once the connection is stablished the screen shows a green background and a ping. No server signaling. Like this comment if you enjoy it.
I think the OP is referring to something like a static ID that two peers share and a connection is made that way.
If that's the correct assumption, this will be easier to use: https://peerjs.com/
Simple-peer can also be used in this fashion, but you'll have to build the functionality into your signaling, as simple-peer is just concerned with the transport.
