vidsync

watch videos together, in sync ;)
create a room, invite a friend with the room-id, and that's it!
enjoy a buffer-free watch-together session, completely in sync.

so what's the catch?
this app provides you with a synchronised video player. that's it!
this means both the peers need to have the video files locally available[^1]. it is NOT screen sharing or streaming the video in anyway. both peers will play the video locally[^2] but the videos will be kept in sync via vidsync.

highlights:

• a synchronised video player
• support for subtitles (for you weebs and k-drama fans)
• a chatbox to share live reactions
• voice calls (if chatbox wasn't enough)
• cute illustrations while you wait for your friend to join

dependencies:

• svelte: the main compiler
• vite: the build tool
• firebase: webRTC signalling server using firestore

[^1]: you can download a large file when you have wifi and then watch it together on mobile data on the go. no more exhausting daily data limits :) [^2]: playing videos locally means there's no buffering, no streaming issues, no hiccups.
