Looks great, now just have to find a counterpart to test it out with. I love the fact that it's native, props for that. I had no idea that people are putting Electron/browser apps out there, yuck.

How does signaling between clients work? Is this going to a server you control?

And what about encryption, is that enforced by WebRTC per se?

Lastly, are you routing calls through TURN servers if NAT tunneling with STUN/ICE fails, or always?

I just wish that SIP had taken off. Then we could just call each others email address. Kinda works with FaceTime, except it's Apple's garden.

Yes, this is going to my own signaling server. No way around that. The signalling logic is very minimal though and no audio or video data touches the signalling server.

> And what about encryption, is that enforced by WebRTC per se?

In WebRTC, all communication between peers is encrypted once the connection has been established.

I do have one TURN server based in SF in case STUN/ICE fails , yes. If I see a lot of usage in other geographies, we'll probably deploy more in different regions.


Thanks for the response.
