I’m loving jitsi, I’ve built a prototype video party app this week focussed on lockdown parties and fixing the things that don’t work for big parties over video chat. We’ve had a couple of parties on it and boy has it performed admirably.

However, there’s a big “but”. The documentation is abysmal. I’m sorry but that’s the cold hard truth. It’s been a nightmare to understand the pieces working while also using their libraries. Incredibly hard to read, and incomplete, docs. I’ve had to refer to the source to try figure things out most of the time. I say this because I think there’s soooo much potential there if it was more accessible. If you’re from jitsi and are keen for some good and critical feedback then hit me up, I’d love to help you out.



How do you feel about contributing what you’ve learned to the documentation?


I have been thinking about this exact use case! Are you going to share your party app?


Not OP, but I also made a party app (unrelated to jitsi). It's barebones, but you can use it free and anonymous at https://zonko.chat
