I worked at a job that was trying to do this. The issue they ran into was money.
* Signaling wasn't a big money maker. You are just exchanging small blobs.
* We spent a lot of time helping people debug their networks/explaining WebRTC and making SDKs. I enjoyed the work, but didn't feel like it scaled well.
* Adding features caused major paralysis. Everyone wanted different authentication or different signaling patterns etc...
- qeternity 6y agoSignalling is actually the easy part, as I'm sure you know. It was everything else that you take for granted when doing voice comms: auth, handshakes, reconnects, etc. They all seem really simple, until you actually sit down to do it yourself. Mad props to the FaceTime crew...nobody else has mastered seamless RTC the way they have.
- corytheboyd 6y agoWould you be open to having a brain dump chat? I want to deliver some WebRTC solutions in the near future but haven’t done this before, would be awesome to just pick someone’s brain about what happens after release :)
- Sean-Der 6y agoOf course! Email me at sean@pion.ly and happy to help however I can.

- kwindla 6y agoSean and Pion are awesome! Definitely talk to Sean. I'm happy to talk to you, too. I do a lot of "let's just talk about real-world things you'll encountering building video features" calls. You don't need to be a Daily (my startup) customer or even plan to be one. I'm kwindla at daily dot co.
- corytheboyd 6y agoThank you so much! Will shoot you an email as well to keep in touch
