You're 100% correct about this, but I think it's easy to miss that you could say very similar things about all sorts of very well designed, low-level technologies, that for years no one has bothered to build the necessary high level tooling around! Magic Wormhole is another great example: it's a brilliant system, it's even very easy to use from the terminal, but nobody has bothered to build a GUI around it or create any of the more complicated (but awesome!) tooling that the wormhole protocol allows. (At least as of the last time I looked into this.)
- BiteCode_dev 7y agoThere is a lot of overlap between wormhole and webrtc thought, and using it as a channel has been on the road map for a long time. So maybe people knowledgeable enough to build it just waited for it, or went to apply PAKE like rdv on top of webrtc.
