Inspiration
The most realistic alternative for watching with your friends is through some sort of screen-sharing service. We wanted to try to make it better.
What it does
Uses WebTorrent to stream media live from a torrent magnet link to watch content together with friends.
How we built it
Built with React and WebTorrent
Challenges we ran into
Debugging webpack issues to do live development. Webpack and WebTorrent did not work well together, so it took time to debug what was happening. Furthermore, we ran into issues with WebTorrent partially loading files, but not actually playing them.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting a nice landing page + WebTorrent mostly working.
What we learned
Creating a full-stack webapp takes a lot of effort!
What's next for Communal
Hopefully creating a way to easily deploy the app and full functionality.
