This is really simple and great!! Thanks for not stuffing it with ads.

Is there a way to make it work a bit better for phones? On mobile Safari, just tapping to enable sound doesn’t seem to work until I reload and tap again.

You should also check out Midday Tech: middaytech.com

There isn't the investment/ROI angle – instead it focuses on putting up new solar by providing $1000-$5000 incentives to families considering rooftop solar. It focuses on lower income families and places that get most of their electricity from coal for maximum impact + additionality.

I built PeerServer with a friend in 8 weeks last spring for our Stanford senior project -- it's a pleasant surprise to see it on HN six months later.

We are planning to open-source the code and create a brief video showing off its abilities this weekend, as well as fix some of the issues you may be having in more recent versions of Firefox. The WebRTC DataChannel spec has been changing, so it works in FF 22 (beta at the time we developed it) but breaks for some later versions where the API changed. It'll be fixed over the weekend for FF and the latest Chrome -- sorry for the issues some are having now.
