HackU IIT-Delhi 2012 Winning Entry\n================================================\n\nOur winning entry for Y! HackU involves a multi-person video chat using webRTC to create a Peer-To-Peer video hangout,\nwhich works faster than any other video chat provider. It is ideal for people chatting on the same network \n(such as corporate \u0026 university networks).\n\n\n#References:\n\n##Technologies Used\n\n- [WebRTC](http://www.webrtc.org)\n- [Collaborative Editing](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_editing)\n- [Websockets](http://websocket.org) for fast server-client communication\n- [node.js](http://nodejs.org) for powering the backend\n- [expressJS](expressjs.com/) for fast, easy webserver in node\n- [Responsive Design](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_Web_Design)\n\n\n##Libraries Used\n- [WebRTC.io](http://github.com.webrtc) for supporting webRTC protocol\n- [ShareJS](http://sharejs.org)\n\n##Similar Stuff\n- [Google Hangouts](http://www.google.com/tools/dlpage/res/talkvideo/hangouts/)\n- [Meetings.io](http://meetings.io) (Uses flash)\n\n#Notes\n\nSince this was developed over a 24 hour hackathon, the code is messy in places. The design is responsive, and should work on most devices (including mobile/tablets). It should degrade to a doc editor + chat for devices without webRTC support (which is just Chrome\u003e=21, Firefox\u003e=17, Opera\u003e=12 at present). The following is the feature set we require for various features:\n\n1. Document Editor: Should work everywhere as it is powered by shareJS which uses BrowserChannel\n2. Video Chat: Should work on devices with getUserMedia support\n3. Normal Text Chat: It is powered by webRTC.socket, which uses WebSockets internally. I could not get BrowserChannel to work in a separate channel (from shareJS), but that was my first choice. I tried to shift to socket.io, but it caused issues by conflicting with webRTC.socket, so I just used that. This means chat only works in browsers with websocket support\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsdslabs%2Fhackview","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsdslabs%2Fhackview","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsdslabs%2Fhackview/lists"}
