This was working (and looked cool) but appears to be down now?

  I am doing some calls in parallel. For me it seems to be working. Can you describe what happened in your case? Edit:typos

    When I click on the url I get... This site can’t be reachedtimur.mobi refused to connect. Try: Checking the connection Checking the proxy and the firewall ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

      This sounds like our DDoS protection. I have just relaxed the criteria. Hope it is better now.

        Still getting the error? I'll try again later. I was able to access earlier and it looked really cool!

        I am really sorry for this. Maybe you have a second ISP from which you could try? On my end all systems are bright green.

        I'm able to access it now. Forgive me, this could have been my user error? Cool service!

I am the WebCall developer. I can see a number of people are using the service right now. However, I can not see what is happening on the P2P links. If you run into issues, please let me know. Same if you think there is anything missing.

  I don't get it, is it just an audio-only zoom.us/jitsi/jami/bigbluebutton? The site is very short on details...

    Let's call it super audio-only. When you talk to someone on WebCall, their voice will be clearer and more present than it is in most real-life situations. This alone is worth everything. But there are many other aspects. Whenever you call someone on their phone, you interrupt that person in the middle of something. When you set up a call with Duo, you give the person a bit of lead time. I love this. In the future, telephony will be much better than what it is today. And it won't be video.

      This is relevant... https://tips.ariyh.com/p/good-sound-quality-smarter https://tips.ariyh.com/p/good-sound-quality-smarter (and I think was on HN a few weeks back) Summary is people like the speaker more and perceive them as more intelligent with high quality audio.
