A retro-styled Omegle clone
Remember Omegle? Yeah, that random video chat thing. Well, this is like that, but with a cool retro CRT monitor vibe because why not? Plus, I make sure you're a real person by asking you to sign in with Google first.
- Built with SvelteKit 5 ( because I like it )
- With retro CRT monitor aesthetic using TailwindCSS
- Hosted on Firebase hosting
- Firebase Auth (aka Google Sign-in)
- Simple, fast, and gets the job done
- Originally built with Deno 2.2 ( because it's just so simple )
- SocketIO for the faster signaling between peers
- Enjoyed Deno very much, but it can't be hosted on my server ( Yes Coolify )
- Had to move away ( Also the socketio admin dashboard does not work )
- Current production backend
- SocketIO as signaling server ( with admin dashboard this time )
- Configured with CORS and used firebase admin SDK for SocketIO middleware based auth
Built from scratch with type safety
- Peer-to-peer video chat
- A rollercoaster of emotions during development
- Learnt a lot
Before you get any funny ideas:
- The socket server is hosted on a private VPS of my own money
- Protected by Firebase Auth
- Also have some firewall rules
- Please don't try to DDoS it ( please don't )
Head over to https://kawaikiwi.iswar.me/ and see the app
- Sign in with your Google account
- Wait to be paired with another peer ( or use a different browser )
- You can also use the same account on different devices at the same time
WebRTC is cool and I wanted to learn it properly!
Built with 💖 and probably too much free time
