RTC Roulette – like Chat Roulette but uses WebRTC
- arcameron 13y agoLooks pretty cool :) We recently added WebRTC to echoplexus https://chat.echoplex.us/ https://chat.echoplex.us/ https://github.com/qq99/echoplexus https://github.com/qq99/echoplexus
- claudod 13y agoSimilar application (more game oriented) released few weeks ago for the Jamendo Apps Contest: http://developer.jamendo.com/v3.0/app/4 http://developer.jamendo.com/v3.0/app/4
- sciurus 13y agoIt's great to see cool stuff being built on Phono! I'm not a javascript developer by any means, but when I tried to write a few voice and text chat demos, Phono made it a piece of cake. I didn't play with the WebRTC support, but I see it keeps improving at a rapid pace, e.g. http://blog.phono.com/2013/02/05/phono-0-6-is-here-with-webrtc/ http://blog.phono.com/2013/02/05/phono-0-6-is-here-with-webr... and http://blog.phono.com/2013/06/25/phono-now-with-firefox-and-opus/ http://blog.phono.com/2013/06/25/phono-now-with-firefox-and-... (Full disclosure: I used to work for Voxeo Labs)
- brokenparser 13y agoLooks neat but it's taking forever for someone else to join.
- mmvvaa 13y agoSame here. cmatthieu, what use do you want to give to this?
- sippndipp 13y agoHehe... It's trending on HN, but no one picks up the phone. Trying it for 3 minutes :-)
- fycth 13y agoSimilar project on Erlang: http://www.webrtcexample.com http://www.webrtcexample.com Source codes: https://github.com/fycth/webrtcexample https://github.com/fycth/webrtcexample
- tocomment 13y agoSo could something like this replace Skype someday?
- frik 13y agoyes. but Microsoft has proposed a different protocol that is based on Skype technology ideas: http://html5labs.interoperabilitybridges.com/cu-rtc-web/cu-rtc-web.htm http://html5labs.interoperabilitybridges.com/cu-rtc-web/cu-r... Google and Mozilla are pushing the WebRTC: http://www.webrtc.org/ http://www.webrtc.org/
- josh2600 13y agoSkype has two things WebRTC lacks: A directory And Signaling Without those things it's hard to compete with Skype or the PSTN.
- cmatthieu 13y agoTwelephone (http://twelephone.com http://twelephone.com) uses Twitter as its user directory and is almost at feature parity with Skype ;)
- BHSPitMonkey 13y ago"Almost at feature parity" is kind of an outrageous claim... I just gave it a try with a friend, and it was glitchy, our video was stretched out (on both ends), there's a big "More" button that does nothing, no file transfers, no screen sharing, not sure if conference calls are even supported, etc. If only there were an open-source private version of Google Hangouts.
- untog 13y agoYes, I find it much better to have my business meetings conducted with surprise strangers added.
- cmatthieu 13y agoYes, checkout http://twelephone.com http://twelephone.com from the same guys who wrote RTC Roulette. It's WebRTC-powered skype clone which attaches to Twitter for the user directory.
- frik 13y agonice. a bit offtopic: I am searching for a WebRTC server stack for Node.js or PHP (libevent). I would like to host the STUN, ICE handling on my own server. The only project I found that supports recent WebRTC API changes is https://github.com/priologic/easyrtc https://github.com/priologic/easyrtc . Has someone tried it on a production environment, are there maybe better alternatives?
- DrJokepu 13y agoI have never used it but I've seen it demoed at the most recent London Node.js User Group meeting and it was pretty impressive: https://github.com/malditogeek/vmux https://github.com/malditogeek/vmux

- cmatthieu 13y agoRTC Roulette was built with Phono v1.1 with WebRTC and SIP support - http://blog.phono.com/2013/06/25/phono-now-with-firefox-and-opus/ http://blog.phono.com/2013/06/25/phono-now-with-firefox-and-...
- frik 13y agoPhono says "Sign Up for an API Key". It's a service, they provide just an SDK. I am searching for open source alternatives that allow me to install the whole WebRTC server software part on my own server. (for Node.js or PHP + libevent)
- unimpressive 13y agoHas anybody gotten this to work yet? (The comments below imply nobody has.) EDIT: Yeah it works, just keep pressing "roulette". FEATURE REQUEST: I would really like a mic testing function. I can't tell if it's working or not.
- idrinkmusic 13y agoYea, I just talked to someone in Lithuania! It was exciting to see someone that read hacker news as I know no other person who reads it too. That was my only successful attempt. Now I keep trying but the call doesn't go through.
- flixic 13y agoHello, that was me!
- idrinkmusic 13y agoHaha, nice! Now you can show me your work :)
- cmatthieu 13y agoI just talked to someone in France from San Francisco #HDvideo #HDaudio #p2p #secure #awesome
- flixic 13y agoJust had a chat, so it definitely works! Text chat area is missing, but otherwise impressive. Also, right now it's probably 90% HN users, that's a very interesting crowd to meet randomly.
- idrinkmusic 13y agoYea, missing text chat but I'm glad someone did something like this.
- reledi 13y agoImpressive for a quick hack. Will you be polishing it?
- cmatthieu 13y agoYes, please tweet bug reports and feature ideas to http://twitter.com/rtcroulette http://twitter.com/rtcroulette or send us pull requests at https://github.com/twelephone/rtcroulette https://github.com/twelephone/rtcroulette
- randyrand 13y agoWell, now I have to put on a shirt.
- moomin 13y agoLike ChatRoulette, only you always get connected to someone with an interest in nascent web standards.
- unimpressive 13y agoI would pay money to have a chatroulette/omegle/etc that matched me up with people I'd actually like to talk to.
- cmatthieu 13y agoThanks for your kind words! I wrote this app in approximately 6 hours using Node.JS while at NodeConf. I do plan to improve upon it and welcome pull requests. The code is available at https://github.com/twelephone/rtcroulette https://github.com/twelephone/rtcroulette
- tracker1 13y agoCan't wait for the next nodeaz meetup... would be cool to get a demo on the use of domains...
- nickcolley 13y agoAny reason why the aspect ratio is off?
- Caligula 13y agoIs it possible to try without twitter login?
- sciurus 13y agoRTC Roulette doesn't ask for a twitter login.
- Kilo-byte 13y agoStuck at "Wait for someone else to join."
