  1. …(such as Nostr, BitTorrent, Supabase etc.) - maybe a future project to combine the two. [0]: https://github.com/dmotz/trystero?tab=readme-ov-file#how-it-...

  2. I have the same fascination. You might find https://github.com/dmotz/trystero quite interesting - it's fun to play around with, also can use torrent DHT for discovery.

  3. …stumbling block of WebRTC is the signaling server stuff. STUN/TURN is honestly pretty trivial [0] https://github.com/dmotz/trystero/blob/65fa48e33c82a7d0fa627...

  6. …haywire when punching thru NAT and I wish there was more research into what the best methods are. https://github.com/dmotz/trystero is a one tool I've used to build these kinds of apps.

  7. Trystero can do this: https://github.com/dmotz/trystero?tab=readme-ov-file#audio-a... You'd need to make a UI for it
    comment by evbogue · 2025-04-14 · in Ask HN: Why is there no P2P streaming protocol like BitTorrent?
  8. Check out Trystero[1], it makes WebRTC super simple to develop with. [1] https://github.com/dmotz/trystero

  9. I am also curious about the progress on this feature: https://github.com/dmotz/trystero/issues/24 for more info

  10. You might be interested in my side project Trystero https://github.com/dmotz/trystero It abstracts away the work of signaling and connects peers via open decentralized networks like BitTorrent, Nostr, MQTT, IPFS, etc.

  11. If we're talking about great p2p WebRTC libraries, try Trystero: https://github.com/dmotz/trystero

  12. …to implement multiplayer purely in the browser without an own server. And thats where trystero ( https://github.com/dmotz/trystero ) comes into play. Trystero uses WebRTC and various signaling mechanisms to allow free decentral…

  15. …It seems designed for video calling, but there are lots of cool use cases - I recently ran across https://github.com/dmotz/trystero , a dead simple WebRTC library for peer-to-peer multiplayer browser games.
    comment by Tactician_mark · 2024-01-23 · in What if serverless meant no backend servers?
  16. …like torrent trackers or IPFS to match peers. It's well-suited for quick projects/prototypes. https://github.com/dmotz/trystero/
    comment by dmotz · 2024-01-05 · in WebRTC for the Curious (2020)
  17. I strongly endorse Trystero ( https://github.com/dmotz/trystero ) for enabling P2P communication in web apps. It’s open source and leverages public infrastructure for matchmaking.

  19. …without the hassle of running your own server anywhere. I built a library that explores this idea: https://github.com/dmotz/trystero And here's how it talks to WebTorrent servers to bootstrap peer connections:…

  20. I'm using https://github.com/dmotz/trystero for all the networking, and I don't think it supports p2pcf. If that existed a connection strategy for Trystero, I'd be open to experimenting with it!
    comment by jckahn · 2022-09-06 · in Show HN: Chitchatter – P2P chat app that is serverless, decentralized, ephemeral
  21. Thanks for checking out the project! Chitchatter uses https://github.com/dmotz/trystero for peer connectivity, which doesn't support Tor. I don't know how Tor would be supported in a typical web browser. Have you seen Tor being used…

  22. https://github.com/dmotz/trystero#how-it-works You always need some kind of centralization for discovery with WebRTC.
    comment by nl · 2022-09-06 · in Show HN: Chitchatter – P2P chat app that is serverless, decentralized, ephemeral
  23. I recently wrote a library to abstract away the tedious aspects of WebRTC called Trystero: Repo: https://github.com/dmotz/trystero Demo: https://oxism.com/trystero/ The goal is to allow adding P2P/multiplayer to your web app in a few lines…
