Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Dive into Web RTC or write SFU on your own
Here I will briefly go over the basics of how Web RTC works; for those who are interested in going a little deeper, I’ll leave the link here. In order for two peers to be able to provide themselves with RTCPeerConnection, the SDP (Session Description Protocol) protocol is used. The protocol has a key-value structure and is essentially a description of a single peer (the name speaks for itself).

Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
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)

Replacing WebRTC: real-time latency with WebTransport and WebCodecs
For the WebRTC jargon check out https://webrtcforthecurious.com/
If that still doesn’t cover enough I would love to hear! Always trying to make it better.

OBS Merges WebRTC Support
It is pretty easy to get a one way trip time for packets that is sub-second! You see it with conferencing and other real-time communication things.
If you are curious on the 'how' of WebRTC I wrote a Free/Open Source book that goes into the details https://webrtcforthecurious.com/. Happy to answer any particular questions you have.

Pure C WebRTC
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!

Possible frameworks/languages for a web/mobile application
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.
