Do you use voice verification with any of the institutions you do business with? Then you ought to never allow some random domain access to your microphone.

#82Well that's a proper Show HN

#83How has this been voted so high up given that it: 1. Doesn't seem to work for anyone 2. Doesn't have anything specific to do with HN users. Since anyone can use it, it's just a random voice chat connection website.
The idea was really interesting, though it's too bad the software didn't work for me.
Still, I learned a lot from the comments (e.g. the problem of a server overload and fix of switching to a distributed server as a workaround; the jitsi platform; the importance of user statistics (e.g. number of people chatting right now, average time for connection) to encourage people to stay on; and the bug that another user found that may have caused the software to work locally, but not when deployed [0].

#84It didn't work, I tried a couple of times and even got a mach but nothing happened. maybe It has something to do with a js error in the console
hn:78 Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Failed to execute 'send' on 'WebSocket': Still in CONNECTING state. at RTCPeerConnection.peerConnection.onnegotiationneeded (https://coffeehouse.chat/hn:78:29)

#85From about:WebRTC in Firefox, > iceServers: > urls: ["stun:stun.l.test.com:19000"] With such a STUN server URL, no wonder nobody ever gets a match… And it's kind of a nasty bug: it doesn't appear anywhere in the JS console, or in the network tab of the browser, and it's likely to work when testing locally (I haven't tested, but you should not need stun to generate local ICE candidate) so the dev could have tested in…
Thanks. I replaced that with an array of servers.

#86I'm seeing an error:

#87I haven't used this, but there was a submission recently for adding LoginWithHN functionality. Maybe this could be used to verify HN users.

#88I work on a similar side project called one-on-one.tech
People can schedule one-on-one meeting with their interests. Others can then get in contact to arrange a virtual/real life meeting.
Current focus is on bigger companies but an open version is out for everyone to use.
Feel free to get in touch with me!

#89This is a neat idea. Didn't work when I tried it. Here's something similar I built last year: https://speakeasy.co/hacker-news

Appreciate the shout out!
I just released self serve client app signup so everyone who’s making stuff for HN like this please check it out —- you should be able to build your OAuth2+OIDC login flow right away.
