I do not enjoy being blunt, but the author seem to have borrowed a page from a “that” conferencing company’s marketing playbook by making very questionable claims.

It’s a nice project, but:

> Zipcall is built radically different. We left behind slow bulky servers, opting for decentralized peer to peer calling. We engineered a platform with maximum video quality and low latency.

Translation: it uses WebRTC or we didn’t invent anything — it uses technology built into your browser.

> State of the art VP9 video compression combined with our scaling optimization makes your calls crystal clear.

Same as above (assuming you’re browser supports VP9).

> Breakthrough peer to peer WebRTC technology means your video goes directly to the other person without a server. No middleman. No extra stops.

Same as above.

> End to end state of the art encryption means your calls are exactly that. Your calls.

How exactly?
