Getting Started with WebRTC: An Outsider's View
summary
Starts from being stuck on jargon after "40 minutes" of reading, builds a word cloud to surface mental models, and shows a concrete path: use a TouchDesigner node to configure WebRTC (STUN server, username, URL) so you actually see signaling and codec negotiation, create a live codesandbox and a device emulator to reproduce audio connect/disconnect bugs, and replace/maintain a Socket.IO-like shim — claiming these concrete tools and examples turn weeks of confusion into hours of usable understanding.
