This project aims to create an application that connects devices in peer to peer in order to listen to music simultaneously for every user connected to the same room. It is close to what watch2Gether does with youtube videos without the peer to peer part.
What is Watch2Gether ?
Watch2Gether has a simple goal: to make it easy for friends to watch videos together, no matter where they are in the world. The whole idea of Watch2Gether is to give you a cool place where you can relax and have fun with your friends. Enjoy Watch2Gether!For this project we decided to go with flutter that is a Dart framework used to develop mostly mobile applications that is versatile and allows to have one code for both ios and android. Its portability was really important for us.
We use WebRTC on this project. WebRTC is a peer to peer protocol that is widely used and known for its robustness. Its reliability was what we were looking for.
As you will have understood, a recent version of Flutter is required to test the project. If you do not have Flutter, we refer you to their documentation for the installation and configuration of Flutter.
- flutter 2.7.0 - 3.0
