Streamify

Streamify is a real-time screen-sharing and collaboration application that allows users to create or join rooms using unique codes. Users can stream their screens, including video and audio, with a focus on high-quality streaming for optimal collaboration. Currently, each room supports up to two participants.

Current Features

• Room Creation: Generate a unique, 5-character alphanumeric room code
• Join Room: Enter a room code to join an existing session

Coming Soon

• High-Quality Streaming: Support for 1080p and potentially 1440p video resolution with frame rates up to 120 fps
• Screen Sharing with Audio: Stream both video and audio to other participants

Technologies Used

Frontend

• Next.js with TypeScript: For building a responsive and dynamic user interface
• Tailwind CSS: UI primarily consists of shadcn/ui components styled with Tailwind CSS

Backend

• Go: For handling server-side logic and WebSocket connections
• Redis: For managing active room codes and tracking participant connections

Other Tools

• Docker: For containerized development and deployment
• WebSockets: For real-time communication between participants

Installation
