  1. 1.) Not something I did. I only worked on the software. 4.) Contracted because I wrote the Open Source libraries it uses. I created https://github.com/pion/webrtc and https://webrtcforthecurious.com the company reached out to me because…

  2. I thought about your comment a lot. I worry that most people just say nice things (but think the opposite) so I appreciate you being direct. ----- I don't expect you to know anything about me. It made me feel like you have written me…

  3. Check out the initial commit of https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webr... it was Pure C and simple. Early versions of https://github.com/pion/webrtc used lots of cgo its an enjoyable read I find. The glue is higher…

  4. What makes something a 'blessed way'? Are you looking for community support, large corporate users etc..? Not being snarky, curious about how people see the space. Lots of implementations exist and I have used most of them for different…

  5. > WebRTC-based solutions are insane bloated incredible monsters [...] They work mainly only if you use the same kind of software and codecs, for example Chromium[...] That's just not true anymore these days. I've used WebRTC between…

  7. What libraries have you used? There are a lot these days, maybe you haven't tried one yet that matches the way you think/code :) * https://github.com/aiortc/aiortc (Python) * GStreamer’s webrtcbin (C) *…

  9. Yes! I have used it in production with these. * FaceTime @ Apple https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212619 * KVS and Chime @ AWS https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webr... . Lots of security cameras and robots use it,…

  11. This is so exciting. WebRTC is our best hope to have video interop between platforms. I love that it works outside web browsers, compeitors like WebTransport assume a 100% browser world. Or you have protocols like RTMP/SRT... that will…

  12. Hey HN! This is a book I am working on to help de-mystify WebRTC. It is wonderful technology, but many find it hard to understand. Especially if you don't have a telephony background. Before this I worked on https://github.com/pion/webrtc…

    Show HN: Pure C WebRTC implementation for embedded devices
    story by Sean-Der · 2020-01-04 · 47 comments
  15. Do you know of anyone that is interested in bridging that gap? I only have done user-space/embedded WebRTC. After Pion WebRTC I got hired to write a pure C WebRTC implementation [0] that is at around ~700kb. It does media + DataChannels. I…
