node.js chatroulette clone

[Chenosaurus]

Built a chatroulette clone using node.js. It's pretty awesome how the
entire application front to back is written in JS! Node.js keep track
of connections and handles matchmaking, the rest of it is pretty much
a simple flash videochat client using stratus. All auth is done via
Facebook connect so no DB is neccesary :)

Love to hear some feedback, I may open source this project in the
future if there's any interest.

Looks awesome! What are you using for the video streaming? Red 5?

[Chenosaurus]

I'm using adobe Stratus. It allows p2p video streams between
clients.

So pretty much client connects to Stratus-> gets a stratusId -> sends
StratusId to my node.js server for matchmaking. When a match is
found, the peer's stratusId is returned and a p2p video stream is
established. No FMS server in the middle means no bandwidth
costs :)!!

I've got some feedback -- why not open source it now? It's a lot easier to get feedback that way :)

Really amazing, good job. Indeed node is perfect for this work, 30
lines vs 300 in java ?

I'm interested for the source too.

Not being anonymous makes it not even remotely a clone of chat roulette.

But neat! Yeah, open-source it!

Right now it exposes the first name and profile pic. But that's
something that can easily be toggled on/off to make it just as
anonymous. But having it tied to your Facebook account makes it less
prone to abuse.

Isn't it the 'abuse' that adds the 'roulette' part, otherwise its just
random-chat ;)

No idea, you may be prompted for facebook first. Try another browser.

Yes, open source it!

What ever happened to this, @chenosaurus? Because one of my silly ideas got Techcrunched last and thousands of people signed up on the homegrown landing page.  Don't laugh or hate, but it was/is called HighStranger ("Chatroulette for stoners").  The Facebook and other fans still want it.  Might your code (or someone else on here's) be suitable?  Doable on Dude's budget (which is small)?

Cheers,

Chris
