and this is why I became a web developer.

well avoid startups to begin with.

did you want to share more details?, like sales numbers, time it took to build, why you decided to return to a normal job, etc.

what a pointless post, you didn't really make any real arguments here, you just complained that we already have stuff but didn't explain why you think it is redundant, because there are actually differences between all of these (Q

You are making a lot of statements here without anything to really back it up, why is it the holy grail of software development? measuring output and actually improving developer performance are not even remotely the same thing, would it no

by anxiostial 6y ago
It is pretty ironic how much time is wasted on trying measure developer productivity.

by anxiostial 6y ago
cool, and yea I am not sure if people would want something like this at all, it just seemed like a fun idea to me.

it was within the first hour

by anxiostial 6y ago
no but probably will be, mostly not making it public right now because it isn't a pretty project to look at atm.

by anxiostial 6y ago
Yea I would like to and maybe I will revisit the idea, but the inappropriate content issue has me concerned, so until I have some kind of solution for that I think its more responsible to disable it.

oh wow thank you, you created an awesome library, I feel kind of bad only giving you praise in a comment on my show hn post, but keep up the great work!

It would have certainly been a lot of work to do that custom, but I would have used webrtc for that as well. I certainly would not have implemented a torrent client myself, which is something that is nice to have as a library, because addin

no but maybe I will add a way to subscribe to a mailing list of some sort, might be a good idea, did not really expect this much reception haha.

I believe it is largely time related, I did not want a broken UI and prefer adaptive UIs, I will look into adding mobile support at some point.

[copied from another answer] yea so I should have clarified, when a room creator closes the tab, the room is basically dead, anyone who enters will never connect or see anything. This basically makes public rooms completely useless so I may

and I never will, promise!

Thanks, so what do you mean by sync viewing? right now everyone is synced to the room creator, which is the only user with controls, and obviously it is super simple / restricted but works for a POC. Yes, very much, chat is probably th

by anxiostial 6y ago
its pretty unlikely since these aren't public torrents, but either way please don't do that.
20.
by anxiostial 6y ago
well so is this haha, yea functionally its basically the same app right now, but like I said though I do want to expand it a lot, this was very much a POC for me.

thanks.

There is nothing preventing bad content atm, and I may look into this, but with it being largely client side (peer to peer) I have a feeling that will be tricky and obviously anyone knowing what they are doing could get around the safeguard
23.
by anxiostial 6y ago
I deployed it a few hours ago so sorry no haha but yea it is almost entirely peer to peer so it should. I don't really have any kind of analytics in place anyways.

and regarding a public room, just uncheck the private boolean when creating a room, it will then show up for everyone at: https://peer-flix.herokuapp.com/ . although public rooms are kinda pointless right now because once yo

the server does not actually ever receive any part of the video, it is peer to peer (webrtc).
26.
by anxiostial 6y ago
yea so there is a "drift threshold" of 2 seconds, and my thinking for this is that instead of having the frames jump around many times when we go out of sync it would be preferable to allow for some difference between peers to red

So the idea is that you select a file, create a room and then share the URL with anyone you want to join and then the video is streamed to everyone connected. All communication between occupants is peer to peer, the room creator has the vid
