I wasn't aware this had more or less landed.
That’s usually a sign nobody uses it because it has at least one large issue. Personally I stopped falling for “there’s now X” advices long ago because if it worked, it would already be mainstream very much heard of by everyone. Sorry for your five hours.
- thot_experiment 2y agoI disagree at least a little bit, the fact that there's support on the browser side is much much more important than support on the server. I can write a server of arbitrary complexity given enough time, the scope of the problem is now one that I can fix. I also found the following in my research yesterday, which looks like a very promising set of abstractions for WebRTC data channels. https://github.com/geckosio/geckos.io https://github.com/geckosio/geckos.io

Because everything starts with just one person using it, then two, then four and so on, things can't just be popular from day 0. I'd agree with that chasing the latest fads (no matter the popularity) is a fools errand, and you need to look beyond vanity metrics to evaluate if something is useful or not. Sometimes that means trying things and sometimes even making a hard bet on something that hasn't been demonstrated "right" yet.
