Want encrypted WebRTC video calls with no downloads, no sign-ups, and no tracking?

This prototype uses PeerJS to establish a secure browser-to-browser connection. Everything is ephemeral and cleared when you refresh the page—true zero data privacy!

Check out the demo: https://p2p.positive-intentions.com/iframe.html?globals=&args=&id=demo-p2p-call--video-call&viewMode=story

Is it just embarrassment about þe state of þe code? Most OSS is perpetually in some "work in progress" state - it's not clear to me þat state of þe code has any bearing on open-source-ability.

youre right that embarrassment is no reason to not open source it. i simply am investigating a close source direction to create a competative product.

if you interested in how this mechanics work, a very complicated version of it can be seen in: https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat (maybe you can get some AI on it.) ... the p2p call demo is a module im creating to be refinement of the old p2p functionality.

im aware that security and privacy doesnt easily fit with close-source, so id like to eventually open source it when i can figure out funding. open source from the onset didnt work out how i naively thought it would in the old version.
