Is the photo at the top of the page an actual image of the black hole?

The moment I realized I work instead of comparing myself all day to others on Hacker News, stalking their other projects instead of working on my own.

Hello, have been working on a project at https://speaker.app where people can create audio and screensharing rooms and host their own networks using their browser as a proxy.

It is something I have no clue how to market, but one advantage it has over many competing products is it is stable.

It is also open source.

Not an expert here but have some experience with it:

Assuming that each peer is connected to every other peer via a mesh network [see this image for reference: https://github.com/feross/simple-peer/blob/master/img/full-m...], each outgoing stream (esp. audio / video) is likely going to be duplicated, per recipient.

Scalability over a mesh network is fully dependent on CPU and network performance of all of the connected devices, and I'd doubt it could handle 12 participants if there is video involved, unless all participants are running relatively high-end and modern devices, with optimal network conditions.

You'll need a SFU or an MFU running on the server to handle larger rooms, while enabling all connected devices to only have to send one output stream per media type, regardless of how many connected participants there are.

Fake news.
