I'd be interested in that. Can you share please?
I've had a git repository sitting around with some content hub examples
for a while. I keep meaning to finish them off, document them, and
share them, but I never got around to it. So I'm going to skip the
first two steps and go straight to sharing.
An important detail that the official docs elide over is that there are
two types of transfers. I've dubbed them "push" transfers, initiated
by the app sending the content, and "pull" transfers, initiated by the
receiving app. To try to produce minimal examples, I've written
separate examples for each case. At the moment, I only have apps that
import content. The pull-import branch [1] requests content from
either the default picture source or from a picture source of your
choosing. The push-import branch [2] can receive pictures exported
from any source.
An important limitation of the ContentStore system is that it only
works for pull transfers [3]. Therefore this system is only used in
the pull-import branch. I added it in this commit [4]. As you'll see,
it's pretty easy to use. You just need to create a ContentStore object
and pass it as an argument to the peer.request() calls.

I had even looked at beru sources on github but saw you do not
actually use the ContentStore but build upon item.move().
I do this because of the failure of the ContentStore system to work
with push transfers. I have to use item.move() in this case. And once
I've written that code, it works just fine for the pull transfer case,
so I see no reason to switch that to using the ContentStore.
And that's my general recommendation. If you have any plans to support
push imports, don't bother with ContentStore.
