> The nice thing about WebRTC is this works (pretty much) everywhere! Someone could throw up Python/Android/iOS/Go/Web/C++ Clients really easily. Huh, what did I miss?! How do you make a WebRTC-client in language-of-your-choice? The last time I checked for C++ I only found answers like "look at the chrome source". lol.

  Ooh, these are very cool. Do you know what sorts of things people are building with them?

    I'm also curious about what's being built.

    I maintain https://github.com/pion/awesome-pion https://github.com/pion/awesome-pion which has some of the things people in the community have built, and companies who are willing to publicize their work. Lately I am seeing a lot of stuff in the broadcast space (mixer.com), robotics and IoT. I am really enjoying the Teleoperation stuff as well, people are remotely controlling cars/robots with WebRTC.

    This is only a personal anecdote, I had two occasions to use it at work: - I wanted to setup ssh access to some machines in a complicated network in a shared office, over which I had no control. After trying various NAT traversal hacks, I realized the potential of WebRTC to do all that for me, and setup ssh over webrtc. I made it from a bunch of hacks, but some people seem to have built that properly now, ex: https://github.com/mxseba/rtc-ssh https://github.com/mxseba/rtc-ssh - I built some tech demos that needed to run on multiple OS and use the webcam. Initially I relied on opencv, but I needed to dockerize things and outside of Linux the webcam device passthrough is a pain. Instead I made a simple webpage fetching the video feed and talking to a python backend (using this great library: https://github.com/aiortc/aiortc https://github.com/aiortc/aiortc), and it worked nicely. It also has been surprisingly easy to setup.
