I felt similarly when I’ve looked into it in the past. My suggestion is to just take a day or two and do a deep dive, use tutorials and it will all get better.

I felt similarly when I’ve looked into it in the past. My suggestion is to just take a day or two and do a deep dive, use tutorials and it will all get better. Maybe not what I would have wanted to hear but after crossing the chasm to where I understand those things now it doesn’t seem like it was too much. It was just more than I expected from what I saw as a simple browser feature. The thing is that there is a lot to p2p communication when you consider local networks sharing the same up address, firewalls etc... Not just that but how to fallback when someone is behind a network that essentially blocks p2p. WebRTC is somewhat of a low level API that lets you navigate these waters but it expects you to do more work than I initially expected.
If you are more interested in a plug and play solution I’ve heard good things about https://tokbox.com/ https://tokbox.com/
- morrbo 8y agoLooks good but $500/month to enable basic security features for a $9/month service? That's not really how you do either marketing or security...
- moron4hire 8y agoHere to parrot GP. I had the same experience. As for Toolbox, unfortunately there isn't any good competition in the market. Tokbox is "the best" (though I wouldn't say "great"). Their pricing model is better than most. It's not the cheapest, but it's worth the service quality. The low intro price seems deceiving, but I think it's pretty good because a lot of really basic, proof of concept apps can work on that range and not break the bank. You won't find anything much cheaper for the whole kit and caboodle.
