The goal is to build a web app for random, real-time video chats between users — focusing on simplicity, anonymity (at least to start), and real-time performance.</p> <p>Tech stack I’m planning to use:</p> <p>🔸 Frontend: Next.js</p> <p>🔸 Backend: Node.js + Express</p> <p>🔸 Real-time communication: Socket.IO + WebRTC</p> <p>I want this to be a lightweight, scalable, and educational project — something we can build together while learning and applying modern web development practices.</p> <p>The initial goal is to launch a basic MVP: connect two random users in a video chat room. Later on, we could explore moderation tools, themed rooms, optional login, etc.</p> <p>Interested?</p> <p>Want to contribute code?</p> <p>Are you a designer, tester, writer, or just full of good ideas?</p> <p>Just want to follow the project and learn?</p> <p>Drop a comment or send me a message! I’ll set up a GitHub repo to get us started. The more people involved, the better 🙌</p> <p>Thanks for reading!</p>
