I was interested in building something like this when COVID-19 first hit. I think it's still a space with a lot of potential, but there are now a huge number of competitors. I made a spreadsheet and add to it each time I see one of these products come up on HN: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R5DXWtz4H7eIT5VbGYJE... There are currently at least 18 projects operating in this space. - The majority (maybe all?)…
I built a video calling app which is the antithesis of Zoom. It's called Reslash. You can play with everything - backgrounds, gifs, stickers. You can recreate a bar lounge, classroom, office, 80s party and more. It also has spatial audio - just move closer to talk to people, like you do IRL.

Super sick. I've used this with my friends. How long was development?

Mozilla Hubs is the best 3d browser-based spatial audio platform I've tried yet by far. I hosted a virtual party in the first lockdown back in April and it was pretty fun and far far better than a zoom call due to the spacial audio. Unfortunately it did become a bit unstable past 15-18 people and you'd have to rejoin the session frequently when it started to crap out under higher load. There already is a popular plat…
We support up to 100 people in a room.

An aside, I think these projects are awesome, this one included, and I really enjoyed those social games then. Will be following how this develops closely.

what happens if 100 people move to the same spot? What kind of infrastructure do you have that supports 100 simultaneous video streams?

Cool product =)... Just out of curiosity, are you using distance from avatars to lower sound? So more distant conversations in say a party setting could be audible, but quieter? That would be a key distinction between discord and this in my mind.

Does anybody remember Habbo Hotel from a decade ago? Second Life and There? These all appear to be rehashes - of course with the video conferencing aspect but not at all profound in dynamic/immersive voice communication. These platforms used to be massive. I'm not sure if they were ever able to manage unicorn levels of monetization unfortunately. An aside, I think these projects are awesome, this one included, and I…
Interesting. As others have noted, it is similar to the old palace chat. I have been thinking about how to give web conferencing more affordances than just a video window and a text box.
