- agranig 14y agoThe post warns about NAT on the server-side (like Amazon EC2 does). Client-side NAT works just fine.

- agranig 14y agoThe real secret sauce is their dead-simple way to sign up and use the client. As you can see in the post, the setup process with the Jitsi client is still a bit awkward, because it is supposed to be a provider-agnostic multi-protocol client. There is still a huge potential in stream-lining this process to get a broad end-user adoption. Flexibility really isn't key in this case, rather than proper UX.

- drivebyacct2 14y agoIt's not a very secretive sauce, especially since they simplified the directory/routing service a few months ago.
