Hey everyone 👋
I’m planning to kick off an open source project inspired by platforms like ChatRoulette and Omegle. 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.
Tech stack I’m planning to use:
🔸 Frontend: Next.js
🔸 Backend: Node.js + Express
🔸 Real-time communication: Socket.IO + WebRTC
I want this to be a lightweight, scalable, and educational project — something we can build together while learning and applying modern web development practices.
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.
Interested?
Want to contribute code?
Are you a designer, tester, writer, or just full of good ideas?
Just want to follow the project and learn?
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 🙌
Thanks for reading!
