Telescope — A meetings app that integrates everywhere

Overview of My Submission

Telescope is a WebRTC online video-calling platform that integrates with other services (for now, only Discord and Emails) to place calls between two people. Gone are the times of sharing weird links and passwords and signing up for accounts. Telescope uses the service to authenticate the user to ensure security and privacy.

Tech Stack:

  • ExpressJS for backend
  • NextJS for frontend
  • Deno for integrations
  • Everything is deployed on two azure VMs with Dokku and NGINX.
