WebRTC Browser-to-Server Blog Post

A blog post detailing WebRTC Browser-to-Server

@ddimaria would Little Bear Labs be interested in collaborating on this?

[ddimaria]

Sorry, I didn't see this come in my email. I'd love to collaborate on this ❤️

[ddimaria]

Let me know if you want to plan async (here or on Slack), or want to jump on a Zoom to start this.

@ddimaria there's a draft of the WebTransport blog up for review: https://github.com/libp2p/blog/pull/11/files#diff-d40abce954ad7025240faa602cca02d702fc4478aa933ef68a4331a1ae2f4a62

I think that post is one example of what the WebRTC article can look like (doesn't have to be the same structure though.)
It still needs review and updated diagrams but let me know what you think.

I like the flow of the post...very logical layout. When you get to the second part, it feels less like a blog post and more of a README, but that could be stylistically appropriate for an engineering-only audience.

@p-shahi I can start the first draft of the WebRTC equivalent, as well as follow the WebTransport format for consistency. Is there anyone you'd like me to collaborate with on the PL side (perfectly fine doing it solo as well)? Process-wise, would you like me to push to that repo, or did you want a first draft elsewhere prior to adding it?

Sounds good.

I will help and review.

No preference. I would have done a pull request against the libp2p/blog repository. That said, e.g. a Google Doc should work as well.

Thanks @ddimaria. Please open for feedback as early as possible. Happy to help guide an early draft.

Thanks @mxinden and @ddimaria

I like the idea of creating a first draft not as a pull request. It allows for quicker iteration imo
My preference is actually to use hackmd.io instead of Google Doc though. Everything will be Markdown by default and rendered as we expect (saving some time converting Google Doc to MD)

Once we get most of the content & structure agreed on in the hackmd doc, we can create a pull request for wider review.

I'll also kick start the process with our design team to get a blog post header and diagrams. A useful exercise here will be to create connection and flow sketches for WebRTC like we did for WebTransport

[ddimaria]

That works @p-shahi! Are you able to create a HackMD document and invite me to it?

We can create interaction diagrams that auto-gen image files. The design team can take those and polish them.
