Challenges we ran into
Socket.IO wasn't fast enough to host a video & voice chat application, so I had to learn how to use WebRTC to create a peer to peer network. Formatting the site was very frustrating because small artifacts kept appearing and I wasn't always able to remove them.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm glad that created a good UI for the chat application. I glad I created a nice logo for the app. I'm glad I created a visually impressive site, that is responsive and fresh.
What I learned

What's next for Peer to Peer
Adding a point tracker, scheduling live-streams, and adding more support for larger group.
