I built Giraffile, a secure website for sharing files via links🦒

​

I won’t go on too long...

Let me introduce you to the giraffe that protects the files you send. A 100% P2P project.

I just updated the Giraffile 🦒 website to v1.0.1, adding a legal notice and a QR code (thanks to an awesome community member) that you can scan to make it even easier to use.

The file travels directly from device A to device B.

I designed the architecture so that even if someone tried to intercept the data stream, they wouldn’t find anything on servers because, technically, there are no transfer servers.

- No cloud.

- No intermediary server

- Everything lives in local memory.

- Open source

Video calls in a Flutter app what’s the realistic way to build this?

i have some Python and JS experience and recently started exploring Flutter, which I really like so far for cross-platform development.

Right now I’m working on a small project with a friend, and we want to add a video calling feature inside the app. Nothing too complex at first just 1:1 calls between users.I’ve been reading a bit about WebRTC, but I’m still not fully clear on how realistic it is for a small project like this.

A few things I’m trying to understand:

- Is it realistic to build video calls directly with WebRTC in Flutter?

- Are the existing Flutter WebRTC packages stable enough for a production app?

- How much backend infrastructure is actually needed beyond just the client side?

- At what point does it become “too much” to manage manually for a small team?

I’m also unsure whether it makes more sense to: go deeper into WebRTC directly and build everything ourselves or use a ready-made video layer so we can focus more on the app logic

For context, this is more of a learning + startup-style project, not something enterprise-scale yet, but I also don’t want to choose an approach that becomes a dead end later. Would really appreciate hearing from people who have actually shipped apps with video calling inside especially in Flutter or similar cross-platform frameworks.

Want to understand MoQ? Spend a day with the person who wrote it.

Luke Curley co-created MoQ, spent years at Twitch and Discord hitting the limits of what existing protocols could do, wrote the first implementations, authored the core specs. He's busy-busy.

But he's coming to Kraków on September 16 and spending a full day with a small group going through MoQ from scratch. You'll actually build a working audio/video room call using MoQ – QUIC fundamentals, relays, pub/sub, how it sits relative to WebRTC and HLS. If you're fast, there's a speech-to-speech real-time translation extension to keep you busy.

Intermediate level, Rust required, basic JS/TS assumed.

Sounds interesting? Join us!

A small conference for audio & video engineers in Kraków. Would you come for this lineup?

We've been running RTC.ON for four years now. It started because we couldn't find a conference that went deep enough on the actual hard problems in realtime audio and video. We didn’t want vendor pitches, 101 talks, but engineers talking about what they actually shipped.

So, we created it and this year, we’re running the 4th edition.

Our first three speakers are:

  • Daniil Popov from CyanView built a 10-bit video pipeline for iOS and Android and deployed it at a major music festival. A tech partner on site couldn't tell his phone footage from professional broadcast hardware. He's talking about how he did it.
  • Piotr Skalski from Roboflow built a computer vision pipeline for sports – player tracking through occlusions, jersey number recognition, real-time stats on a 2D court. Every model is open source. His own description of the talk: “every step solves a problem that creates the next one”.
  • Will Law has spent 20 years in streaming infrastructure at Akamai and is one of the key people driving MoQ forward at the IETF. If you've been watching the protocol space, you should know the name.

More speakers are coming. We’ll meet this September in Kraków, Poland. I’d be happy to answer questions about the lineup or the conference in general.

So, would you join us?

Voice agents: did you land on WebRTC or WebSockets, and what bit you?

Realtime voice is showing up in everything now, and I keep going back and forth on the transport. WebRTC handles jitter and packet loss the way you'd want, but the setup tax is real. WebSockets are dead simple right up until someone's on hotel wifi and the audio falls apart.

If you've shipped a voice feature to actual users: which way did you go, and what surprised you after launch? Mostly trying to learn from people who've already paid for the mistake.
