ahhhh... no, it's made with python so it's not pure.

nice try dude but you couldn't host this on a static server. you edit your title as it is a bit deceitful.

Hum... Did you expect it not to use a database either?

The title is very confusing until you realize it's the frontend that is "pure" (AKA, no framework). But not deceitful, as there is no way to make that in a pure static server, the deceiving interpretation is actually absurd.

doesn't matter. if you are going to say something is pure, then it better be pure. not on me that the author used a clickbait title and got caught.

I've semi-thought about that and edited the post but wish I actually edited the title instead(the option is gone now). I was thinking of pure as in no React etc., did not think that this could be interpreted in that way initially.

I would also be surprised by something described as "pure HTML/JS/CSS" being built with Flask. My first question was, "How are answers stored?"~

Still, thank you for sharing!

I suppose something like WebTorrent could be used in that instance? The peers could eliminate the need for the server.

Still that's too much JS for my minimal/no-JS goals.

How much does WebTorrent depend on the specific server doing work through WebRTC rather than any other peer?
