Four months working with NextJS my experience
I don’t like to use sockets on nextjs, just looking at the integration page of socket.io (How to use with Next.js | Socket.IO) feel so weird for me, also combining the fact that the developer server is just a nightmare, I prefer to avoid everything related to websockets and nextjs at least for the moment.

Help us prioritize features for our decentralized p2p chat app
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.

Some things I learned, retrofitting a browser-based RTS for network multiplayer.
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.

Do you feel that programming has been easier to understand in game development versus other types of programming because of your experience with actual videogames?
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.
