  • Go Playground Improved
    1 project | /r/golang | 22 Mar 2023
    There's https://goplay.tools/ which has many nice features (code completion and live error feedback), wonder why it's not become more popular.
  • HTTPS Reverse Proxy Using Echo
    1 project | /r/golang | 28 Feb 2023
    Better yet, can you reproduce the problem at, say, https://goplay.tools/?
  • How to test three lines of Go (vscode)
    1 project | /r/golang | 27 Jan 2023
    Or you can go to the Better Go Playground https://goplay.tools. It has intellisense and syntax highlighting.
  • Preparing for Golang Developer Interview
    1 project | /r/golang | 16 Jan 2023
    https://goplay.tools/ has a bunch of great snippets to review
  • Are We Wasm Yet - Part 1
    7 projects | /r/golang | 21 Mar 2022
    If someone interested to play with WASM capabilities, I've been working on custom playground that supports WebAssembly - https://goplay.tools.
  • A better version of Go Playground
    4 projects | /r/golang | 28 Feb 2022
    Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Apologies if my previous post looks like trying to push you into a particular direction; this wasn't my intention. Stay with your roadmap, goplay.tools is already super useful. If I need something extra I should really consider trying to contribute that – although I must admit I don't have much time either. But I'll keep it in mind.

    I am really excited about https://github.com/sepfy/libpeer. It has examples ready for ESP32 etc....

    When working on KVS I wasn't familiar with the embedded space at all. I saw 'heavyweight' embedded where you were running on Linux. Then you had RTOS/No OS at all. I wasn't prepared for these devices at all. If we can make WebRTC work in the embedded space I think it will really accelerate what developers are able to build!

    Remotely driven cars, security cameras, robots in hospitals that bring iPads to infectious patients etc... Creative people are building amazing things. The WebRTC/video space needs to work harder and support them :)

    -----

    I love how diverse the WebRTC space is now. Outside of this implementation you have plenty of other options!

    I have worked four jobs related to https://github.com/pion/webrtc and one for https://webrtcforthecurious.com

    Two companies used Pion. The other two were just using the protocol (WebRTC)

  • Possible frameworks/languages for a web/mobile application
    2 projects | /r/webdev | 29 May 2023
    In my experience Go has been relatively approachable for people that are good at PHP. It has a great standard library and a pretty solid ecosystem, though frameworks aren’t as popular in Go. There are some well regarded libraries for things like WebRTC via https://github.com/pion/webrtc WebSicket via https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket
  • Video streaming in golang

    Don't try to make RTC yourself, it looks easy, but in fact, it's a really hard problem to solve. Use https://pion.ly/ it's a pretty solid package they also have a discord/slack channel with a lot of helpful people there.
  • Datachannel video streaming?

    Maybe you can reuse some of this code: https://github.com/pion/webrtc/blob/master/examples/data-channels/main.go
