@feross thanks for open this channel for community.
We were working for a while on the development of our web application and we faced the interoperability barrier between bittorrent and webtorrent, I leave here a small post about the solution that we gave to this problem and an alternative for those who have a similar use case: https://dev.to/geolffreym/watchit-web-torrent-streaming-proposal-511d

Nice!

Hello. Your example at https://webtorrent.io/ does not work for me on all networks. About a year ago there were feasts, and now the same webseed.

At the moment I want to implement a full-fledged video hosting using webtorrent. At the moment I ran into a problem with nat. Are there any webtorrent modules to expand the network? Ie so that webtorrent-hybrid clients are proxies for finding peers for clients on webtorrent.js (webrtc).

@feross was wondering about some things about webtorrent. In traditional torrenting during initial seeding you have to port forward to accept any incoming connections (correct me if I am wrong as I started torrenting a few months back) maybe that was because of tcp. But in webtorrent I think this problem is solved as it uses webrtc. I don't know much. Please throw some light on this. Thanks a lot for webtorrent.

WebRTC solves this for WebRTC peers. For TCP/UDP peers there's this issue #195

How Can I use it with react ?
Please help me regarding this.

[DiegoRBaquero]

Webtorrent is pure JS, can be integrated in any JS (web) app. Outside of the scope to do an implementation ourselves, sorry.

[Bruce-Hopkins]

Is it possible to add React integration in the future?

[DiegoRBaquero]

What type of integration are you looking for? WebTorrent being pure JS can be integrated with any frontend framework.

Maybe see https://github.com/mikeal/webtorrent-element for more ideas.

[Bruce-Hopkins]

Oh I'm sorry I misunderstood your answer 😄

Could the repo benefit from a examples created with React? Or is the implementation too obvious?

[DiegoRBaquero]

The implementation varies a lot depending on what you are looking to do with it. General torrent app? Render/Stream a file? Single file sharing? Too many. See https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent/blob/master/docs/faq.md#who-is-using-webtorrent-today
