Nice project. Can you maybe detail a little bit more what makes your project strong or different from other competitors? (Despite the funny name 😃)

@geoffreycrofte Salut Frenchy, you know the "word game" in french :P. I created it for myself at first. With the confinement, I wanted to chat quickly with people, but they all used different video chats (Zoom, Teams, Meet, ...), and each time, I had to enter information and / or install software. Why make it simple when you can make it complicated? Chaton's idea is to provide a tiny web app that allows you to do simple 1:1 video chat. No login, no settings, just a simple little application, no frills. Create a room, share the ID and that's it. I don't have a desire to do something better than the others, but something simple and effective.

@geoffreycrofte @kevin_py I think you should totally write that down on your project description, with this precise use case. Simple but effective indeed. Yeah I understood the pun on Chaton ha ha 😁 I had an idea of powerful drag and drop library once, I would have call it DragOn.js 🐉 bug it never went public 😅

Hello Hunters ! I'm happy to present my last open source project, Chaton. It's a web app for chat via video with an other person. Simply 1:1. This project is open source, with no registration, and created without framework (full vanilla TypeScript) and with the WebRTC standard.
