MoQ: Not Another Tech Demo

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Built a real conferencing app called hang.live with open source Rust and TypeScript libs and a relay/CDN model that actually clusters nodes and gossips for discovery. Uses WebTransport, WebCodecs, WebGPU and WebAudio and explicitly not using WebRTC; implements on‑demand simulcast, subscription merging so unused tracks never encode, and websocket fallbacks for Safari. Production notes: Cloudflare runs a fork on edge nodes and a thousand‑person Discord exists.
