snipp.in VS Pion WebRTC

I built https://snipp.in because I was top frustrated about the loading times of notion. I am a developer and I take notes quite often, most of us spend a lot of time on an IDE and when we need format a quick json or copy a tiny snippet we often find ourselves in opening another instance of an editor with a txt file or random website to formate json. Snipp.in is a tiny jn browser editor, note taking app and a snippet manager all in one which looks like an Editor but really fast without any bs of signin/signups or cloud. It just stores everything in your browser using IndexedDB. It's also open-sourced at https://github.com/haxzie/snipp.in

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!

See https://github.com/sipsorcery/webrtc-echoes for examples of some running against each other.

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)

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

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.

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