> It'd be cool if you knew what you were talking about. It'd be cool if people stop using bullshit buzzword in order to promote a project. There is a server period. It doesn't matter if "it does only a small thing". that bullshit needs to stop and I will call anybody engaged into bullshiting others out as long as they keep doing that. The client talks directly to the other client but in order to connect 2 clients at first place you need a server to connect peers. That's what you call serverless ? then that's a lie, period. It's obviously you who don't have a clue what you are talking about. "serverless" needs to die, no application that relies on the web is serverless, there is always a server. |

I get your frustration with software development jargon but this seems like an odd choice to attack.
And to two of your points, here's a version that is "serverless", and can run completely from the file system.
https://github.com/cjb/serverless-webrtc
But is it truly "serverless"? I mean the file system is serving the file up to the browser!
C'mon.
Oh, and in case you were going to point out that there's a server involved in the link I posted because, "the WebRTC offer/answer exchange is performed manually by the users, for example via IM", (emphasis mine) - the information could just as easily be written on a piece of paper and exchanged via carrier pigeon. The pigeon may still technically be a server, in an architectural sense I suppose, but hopefully at that point you'd agree we're taking the argument past the point of any sensibility.
