I made a P2P Chat App

The Gallery
1

Project URL: https://p2p-webchat.glitch.me/

It’s a 1 on 1 chat app that dosn’t require you to run a server, and it sends data over WebRTC instead of WebSockets. It has some slash commands. I also made a workaround so it can use Apple emojis with the Twemoji javascript.

Commands:

/me Says you … something (ex. /me is tired)
/color Make a colorful bubble (ex. /color red; Hello!)
/button Make a button that sends a message when you click it (ex. /button Button Text; Text to send.)

Please give suggestions/feedback!

It looks really clean and well made!
I just have two pieces of feedback:

  1. Consider making the “onboarding” box in the center.

  2. Make an option to create a username. This will help users know who they are talking to!

Any recommendations for libraries to make WebRTC simpler, I think that’s the only thing I might add to Pomagranate in the next few days.

Awwww, shoot I don’t seem to be able to generate an invite code. I’m unable to develop any peer to peer apps either due to network issues.

Further anaylsis shows zoom can collect a lot of your data(ip, device name, microphone/camera type, …) and send it other people.



We really need an open source clone of zoom.

There’s something new right now, where an Indian-based telecommunications company named Jio made an exact same version of Zoom called JioMeet, the only difference being that the theme is a bit darker blue. And then, they released another app called JioChat, which looked like WhatsApp UI and Snapchat snaps put together.

yes, i agree. we need it

The closest thing to an open source version of Zoom is BigBlueButton.
