marqus VS peerjs

Marqus: https://github.com/EddieAbbondanzio/marqus

It's yet another markdown based note taking app. I wanted something that gave as much screen real estate to the note's content vs navigation so it'd be easy to use on small screens, and I also wanted to save my notes in plain files vs a proprietary format.

I don't plan on charging any money for the app itself so it'll never make me any money but I do plan on offering an optional note syncing service for multi-device support that'll be a few bucks a month.

this app is using peerjs to connect peers over a webrtc connection. check out thier docs for more info. with webrtc, things like file-transfer, should be very performant compared to cloud storage providers... especially over LAN. network speed doesnt seems to be an issue i have experienced.

I'm using the client-side PeerJS https://peerjs.com/ library for networking. As the name may imply, a direct connection is established between two peers using WebRTC via "handshake" through an intermediary server they host - and, they provide source for the server as well. I have found it to be quite reliable, thus far.

You kind of sound like a beginner. The browser APIs are a bit painful to work with. It might be easier to use PeerJS: https://peerjs.com/

If you want you can use Preact. PreactJS is a lightweight alternative to ReactJS, designed for high performance and compatibility. is often used in applications where performance is critical and has a small footprint.

This opens up a lot of neat possibilities, and fortunately I found a very easy JavaScript library for handling multiplayer called PeerJS. The way you can send packets from player to player is very simple and something even a beginner to JavaScript could understand.

You might be able to eliminate the VPS by making it P2P using something like PeerJS [1]. PeerJS provides a free shared connection broker server.

Note: peerjs is a good starting point!

We use peer.js module to create a WebRTC connection between clients

Now that we have all the required boilerplate we can start building the actual game. For the communications between peers we are going to use PeerJS a peer-to-peer library built on top of WebRTC.
