I call it "furapy".


Nicely done. I started a simple idea/project based on PeerJs (with self-hosted CoTURN) to make a little private 'zoom-like' chat.

I'd been considering doing an Omegle clone too, but have been side-tracked.

I also might take a look at the p2p file transfer ability WebRTC has for some other ideas.


Thanks! I'm using Cloudflare's TURN service[0] which has a generous 1,000gb/mo free tier, which should be more than enough for this demo, works really well.

In the video he says the Full-Duplex SDR (Nuand bladeRF X40) hardware can be quite expensive. But he found one on ebay for $270.


Ahhh, WWWBoard. Those were the days!


app.net was great for developers. We made money each month based on user feedback. It was worth the higher membership fee to access all that too.

Sadly, and despite the way it was originally funded (by the users), I believe they took some VC funding, which ultimately killed the platform since it wasn't getting the growth that the investors wanted.

Actually, if Elon wants 'X' to become an 'everything app', one way which that could be done is through opening up to more app devs to build their own apps on the platform, as it used to be. Sadly, I don't think they've got the will or the manpower to do that these days.


I assume this is to cover any losses from them soon making it possible to use the Quest without a Facebook account? ie: The data they will not be able to sell.


The cross-browser support and standardisation for `input=date` (and `input=datetime`) has been notoriously poor for years. It's still only listed as 'partially' supported on some browsers on caniuse.

That's why so many people roll their own.


That's not a million miles away from how Second Life operated (and still does). Where the 'Land' & 'Estates' (and parcels within them) were servers. Each has their own limitations to how many user avatars they can support at one time.

People flock to places they identity with. Buy parcels. Build their own space and communities within communities.

As far as 'voting' and governance goes, I think there's room for development with blockchain login/identity/ownership and Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) which support that.

Immediately turning it into a community of crypto bros where the only subject is cryptocurrencies and derivations. A figurative and literal waste.


You can vote without Blockchain, somehow everyone forgot about that. In fact Blockchain and other "trustless" mechanisms are completely useless in a community where people know each other, since Sybil attacks require anonymity.


For querying and subscribing to events for defi, using the Uniswap and ETH Subgraphs, it's great for building 'web3' apps.


Nice. But I searched for 'Aluminium'. It gave me results for 'Aluminum' (American English).
