Frisbi – Peer to peer group video chat
fris.biNo about page - Darn.
I had to go to their twitter to see that it was WebRTC based. - Darn.
Markets itself as peer to peer and requires signup on a central service. - Not really but ok, sure, WebRTC is P2P when it's not using TURN servers in bad NAT situations.
Not open source - Okay that's fine.
No explanation of how they plan to make money. - Am I the product?
The main image on the splash screen is some people who apparently decided to meet at a bar instead use their app. - I guess it's for atmosphere.
Hey, Jake here from Frisbi.
Do you think WebRTC is a good enough selling point to have somewhere on the main page?
Regarding open source, we may go down that route quite soon - the code could use some refactoring (this is a pet project for 2 people with jobs ;)
We haven't got a real desire to make money off this in the short term. It's simply for fun and we hope that a community can form around the site.
Thanks for your feedback, it's really appreciated.
Hey Jake,
I think either plugging webRTC or making it clear that the service doesn't require plugins like Flash or Java is definitely very valuable.
I agree, it is fun!
Sounds very much like Firefox Hello.
Looks like a cool idea, well done!
