What is WebTransport and can it replace WebSockets?
It’s too early to predict what WebTransport will be used for, but the first teams to use it have every chance to build something groundbreaking.

Quiwi - Another QUIC implementation in pure Go
Background: I wanted a secured UDP network for some of my devices (before I knew of WireGuard®) but could not find one that I can customize to support sending unreliable data (e.g. video stream) (before I knew of Datagram extension). quic-go was hard to compile last time I tried and I couldn't use/extend its QUIC APIs as they are under "internal" package. Others I found require C/C++ libraries which are difficult to cross-compile. I really like quiche APIs and even tried its C bindings but, you know, Cgo is not Go.

Show HN: PSX Party – Online Multiplayer Playstation 1 Emulator Using WebRTC
What do you find hard about setting up a WebRTC server? I hear from users they are able to spin up a Pion DataChannel server in 5 mins (including installing Go)
WebTransport isn’t going to be here soon though, I would be cautious in investing. Stuff like Congestion Control is still a big unknown [0] and we don’t have Datagrams everywhere.

How to properly scale an IO game?
First, I would try exchange Socket.io over Geckos - https://github.com/geckosio/geckos.io.
- I need a new framework for my game.

Show HN: Hathora – Multiplayer Game Development Made Easy
I agree the scope is massive. I think a lot of people struggle with figuring out how to even get started with multiplayer dev, and I hope Hathora can be a useful tool for them.
Thanks for linking matchbox - I've been looking into https://github.com/geckosio/geckos.io as a way to integrate WebRTC into Hathora
- I spent the past year building a multiplayer web game in Typescript/Node

Show HN: PSX Party – Online Multiplayer Playstation 1 Emulator Using WebRTC
https://github.com/pion/datachannel looks great! Thank you for sharing your project with the open source community.
I just starred it, it does seem like it'd alleviate a some of the pain. Another similar (more end to end) project I had come across is: geckos.io. This previous HN thread[1] discusses some of the (at least perceived) difficulty with using WebRTC as a "WebSockets but UDP" solution.
I'm not sure I follow the concern about congestion control. UDP doesn't have it either, presumably since if you're building an application that requires such latency sensitivity, you don't mind rolling your own congestion control algorithm that makes most sense given your application's specific needs, right? Pretty much all FPS games do this, as far as I understand.
