I’ll try make this short and sweet. Using PeerJs its possible to connect browsers over a fast WebRTC connection. So i slapped on material-ui to see what is possible using this technology.
The app is available here.
my code results in the static files you can save from the link to the app (html, js, css, etc). you can ctrl/cmd+s to save the statics and host them on a static-server of your choice (easier than me providing a .zip?). you can also host your own peerjs-server.
The app is not production ready, but it is provided as a testable work-in-progress demo. it would be great to hear opinions on how the project is shaping up.
(feature requests + bug reports welcome :) )
How do you self host your app?
maybe in the post it isnt clear. there are 2 diferent types of self-hosting.
- selfhost the statics - ctrl/cmd+s to save the statics and host them on a static-server of your choice (easier than me providing a .zip?). this can be done with something like `npx serve /static-folder-with-files`
- the app is made to not rely on a backend for authentication, but peerjs-server is used to make initial connection. you can select the peerjs server on the “create profile” screen. (note: a profile is locked to a specific peerjs-server which is set whern you create a profile)
Well scraping your app is not self hosting. Any reason why you don’t provide your Git repo if you’re ok with people downloading your source?
