Six participant tiles in a ring, each joined by a line to every other, with a dimmed signalling server at the side labelled setup only.

Meetings

Group video and text chat over WebRTC for up to six people at meetings.poietic.tech. Every browser connects directly to every other, splitting its upload between them; the server only relays connection setup, addressed to one peer at a time. Each room is a Cloudflare Durable Object that deletes itself after a day unused. Creating a room needs a poietic.tech sign-in, checked against the auth service's public key; joining needs only the link and a nickname. Cloudflare TURN relays calls that can't connect directly, with short-lived credentials handed out only for rooms that exist. Started life as Tinker Chat, the first experiment at tinkers.poietic.tech.
