Internal design

// todo (i will go brief on this, since i went some detailed on the other project, but was not worth it)

techstack / servers

• WebRtc -- P2P video connection
• Xstate -- state management
• Websocket (/ Socketio) -- send events
• React -- frontend Ui
• SignalServer -- backend Server
• Aws -- host for the Services
• Netlify -- domain name & reverse proxy

Problems facing

Domain name & Websocket

• domain name is "borrowed" from Netlify (I have no money to buy a domain name)
  //repeat: Aws is the actual place where all the Services are hosted
  //repeat: Netlify serves as a reverse proxy
• since Im using a reverse proxy, there is an issue with the Websocket

Security

• do not post any important information on the Chat -- this is insecure, though it appears to be https (+ some other things)
  (the database may be destroyed when server is down)

Note

• this is an experimental project

Auth0 #

you can create a Test account to # in Auth0
__(the database may be destroyed when server is down)
or just stay in Anonymous mode
