good group of companies. See the need for a CDN that can handle television volume audiences. Symple makes a lot of sense. Basically, bill.com that doesn't suck/feel dated.



Hi Peer5 co-founder here, thanks for resonating with our vision!


WebRTC seems like a really cool opportunity to rethink certain kinds of services. Video is an obvious candidate, I've also seen a bittorrent client that uses WebRTC. What are other interesting peer to peer applications that WebRTC could enable?

Yea, webtorrent[1] is a great project.

We've also created Sharefest[2] a while ago which is basically WeTransfer with no servers.

I think multiplayer web gaming has a nice potential and need for a high performance network stack using WebRTC.

IoT might also be a candidate for direct p2p communication, without the need for all the devices in your home/office to connect directly to the cloud.
