How does Nettu compare to https://bigbluebutton.org/, which is more directly in the educational space?

I notice Nettu has a built-in graphing calculator, and BBB doesn't.

Will you also be offering a turn-key service? I use BBB though https://meet.coop.

Having more open source options with corresponding hosting services would be great.

Big Blue Button is bloated and poorly maintained, has old documentation and is pretty heavy to host and use.
Unlike Jitsi it also automatically throttles FPS, provides shared note-taking, moderation tools and recording.
and saves every session for some weeks on the server by default. Even when not recorded.

This is (very unfortunately) true, and I honestly don't know people get it to work in larger school implementations. The idea behind BigBlueButton is spot on and ultimately I hope another FOSS tool can help to fill this void
