My Learnings

By Building this project I learned about the following concepts:

  • WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is a technology that enables real-time peer-to-peer communication between browsers and mobile applications. It is an open-source and free project that used to provide web browsers and mobile applications with real-time communication (RTC) via simple application programming interfaces (APIs).

  • Socket.IO is a library that enables real-time, bidirectional and event-based communication between the browser and the server. It consists of: a Node.js server: Source | API. a Javascript client library for the browser (which can be also run from Node.js): Source | API.

  • Next.js is a React framework that enables several server-side rendering (SSR) features such as static site generation (SSG), automatic code splitting, server-side rendering, and client-side routing. It is a framework that is built on top of React.js and Node.js.
