So first of all:
thanks for this project, the first look is pretty great. I am searching for a tool, that is really minimalistic (so no jitsy or ...) and just works. There are a couple of things that I still would like to see:

docs

I love self hosting and I am self hosting pretty much everything (either for my self use or personal use). I had (and still have) some struggles. I never used webrtc and have no clue about stun or turn. I just want something that can run (offline, behind private networks or just without connecting to any other server). The docs go apart with your docker container. "This way you have your own Signaling and STUN running quickly" but the docker tutorial just published port 8080, that is not redirecting anything. Nor is the same server set up in your default configuration. Most people use nginx (plain) as web server, there was no setup guide anywhere, I ended up with try and error writing it. Sorry to say, but setting it not clear at all on what you need or what actually to do (apart from the docker compose file, luckily I am quite familiar with docker, so that was no big issue for me)

privacy & security

Privacy is the central idea behind this project

(from the first line in the read me)
So, love it...the idea at least.

There are no docs (apart from the licensing information) on what is used (apart from webrtc) how it works or what its doing. When chatting, there are crypto ids, but nothing is documented what to do with it, I can not verify that it is really secure....apart from trusting you and your work (which I simply don't want to do when it comes to video calls, and I think you will understand that).

In the code are references to sentry and so. Is that used in production? I don't want any third party (server) to be involved when using your tool.

Also I don't know what I am collecting as server provider. I clearly want to say to users what I can and what I can not do.

name

I did not find any option to set a name. Sometimes you are chatting with others you don't know. Having an option to have an optional name below them would really help communicating.

restriction on creating rooms

I am hosting it and I don't want others to create rooms or use my services when I don't authorize them. Is there anything I can do to prevent the creation of rooms? Like a password or login for "moderators"?

other things and errors

  • the share screen button could be at the top bottom
  • "No camera or microphone has been found!" - my pc does not have a webcam, but it certainly does have a microphone.
  • Skip the "press to play video" #137 so, confirming it for everyone everytime? Thats pretty much work to do.
  • Waiting for connection #133 occuring when in incognito mode. The tool is sometimes not really reliable and is not showing any errors why it is failing or hints
  • some more settings would be neat, like changing quality of the video feed
  • some stats? like how much bandwith is needed, latency, ...
