I hate being "that guy", but what about sites like https://appear.in/ https://appear.in/ that do this without (seemingly?) depending on browser support? Is this using some novel p2p technique that can't be implemented using just JS?
When you send a FF Hello invite to a Chrome user, it works fine.
I.o.w.: why is this not just a website?
- UberMouse 12y agoBoth Firefox Hello and appear.in use WebRTC which is a Javascript API provided by the browser for this sort of stuff. So appear.in does require browser support. Firefox Hello also is a website, it's just running inside the browser. http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/loop/content/ http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/compon...
- hayksaakian 12y agoi mean it says: > Hello is super easy to use and your friends and family don’t even need Firefox to join your conversation. As long as they have a compatible browser, they’re good to go. as far as i've read this is basically appear.in but with some native buttons in firefox, and optional firefox account integration.
