Project Details

• A platform similar to https://gather.town
• Use PhasorJS to build out the 2D animated components
• WebSockets and WebRTC for chats and video servers
• REST API servers for auth, creating new spaces, inviting people to a space
• Would be interesting to see editable / extendable workspaces with an inventory of decoratives
• Use React.js and rely on React Server Components via Tanstack if SSR is required due to the heavy rendering nature of this application. Avoid Next.js bloat at all costs and use Tanstack Router, Query, Store and Forms
• Keep the backend in Golang as there is great support for Websockets (Gorilla/websockets) and WebRTC (pion/webrtc) and API (gin-gonic)
• A combination of SQL and NoSQL databases would make sense here. Would love to see people building with MongoDB or Cassandra along with PostgreSQL.
