Show HN: Learn how WebRTC actually works. A book on the protocols, not just APIs
I've never used or looked into WebRTC but seen it floated around and I think I heard Sean on a gotime podcast once? Not sure, but overall I have some offshoot interest as I generally like network protocols. The following is just some minor feedback after starting to go through this.I started reading and got down to "Connecting" section in the "What, Why, and How" and realized I had no idea what it was used for still. I reread the "What is WebRTC" section, and yep:> 'The WebRTC protocol is a set of rules for two WebRTC agents to negotiate bi-directional secure real-time communication.'Totally missed that the first time through.So, maybe it's just me or maybe I'm just tired, but I feel like it could be called out more what it is and what it is/can be used for. Like the first line in the "Media Communication" section:> 'WebRTC allows you to send and receive an unlimited amount of audio and video streams.'That was helpful. And then the "Applied WebRTC" page seems helpful as well. Maybe point these out early on in the document somewhere?Hope this helps. I've bookmarked and looking forward to reading this more (when I'm not so tired).
