Noah 3f756c5318 Camera connectivity established!
* Two users can activate their cameras locally and then connect them together
  with WebRTC with video and audio support working!
* Limitation: users need to be broadcasting video themselves before they can
  connect to someone's camera. If the offerer doesn't add tracks of their own,
  the SDP offer doesn't request video channels; so even though the answerer
  adds their tracks to the connection, they aren't used by the offerer.
* As currently implemented, the offerer's camera feed will also appear on
  screen for the answerer - every video connection opens the feed both ways.

Compared to the previous commit (where clients shared SDP messages but not
ICE candidates or anything further) the fixes and learnings were:

* The back-end was trying to relay candidate messages, but there was a JSON
  marshalling error (json object casted into a string) - changed the Message
  type to map[string]interface{} and both sides could exchange ICE candidates.
* Both sides needed to add their video tracks to the connection so that there
  was anything of value to be sent over the WebRTC channel.

Other changes:

* Server will send a ping message every minute to connected WebSockets.

BareRTC

BareRTC is a simple WebRTC-based chat room application. It is especially designed to be plugged into any existing website, with or without a pre-existing base of users.

Features

Planned features:

  • One common group chat area where all participants can broadcast text messages.
  • Direct (one-on-one) text conversations between any two users.
  • Simple integration with your pre-existing userbase via signed JWT tokens.

Configuration

TBD

Authentication

BareRTC supports custom (user-defined) authentication with your app in the form of JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). Configure a shared Secret Key in the ChatRTC settings and have your app create a signed JWT with the same key and the following custom claims:

{
    "username": "Soandso",
    "icon": "https://path/to/square/icon.png",
    "admin": false,
}
