Building an MVP like Superpeer

Hi there,

I'm looking to build an MVP for a closed audience with functionality very similar to Superpeer.

Would love to either hire someone from IH community or learn if there's a low code way to build such a solution (MVP).

Would really appreciate some guidance!

    The easiest way to set it would be using something like the Whereby Meetings API. But honestly, they're very expensive starting at $299/month.

    I know that Zoom also has a SDK that allows you to embed a meeting room. But also very expensive as they charge by every host.

    The best way to do it, IMO, is by using Twilio Programmable Video, It’s cheap for peer-2-peer rooms(an hour cost $0.18). It also supports group rooms with fair pricing.

    And the best part: they released an open-source video-conferencing app written in React that can be used to build around. Mozzila even cited it as a technology that has the potential to break the status quo on their Save the Internet campaign.

    You can't get much lower-code than a no-code solution (check the nocode section here for great resources), but for situations where you are still going to want to write code, you can give yourself a big boost by using a SaaS boilerplate to skip over all the common code that every SaaS needs, but that only wastes your time to have to write (user authentication/management, subscription management, application framework, etc).

    Full disclosure, I'm close to launching Nodewood, a SaaS boilerplate for Javascript, but I don't think that discounts the advice. I listen to a lot of startup/founder podcasts and one thing that frequently comes up is founders playing catch-up and writing common infrastructure that customers need (the ability to view all past invoices, change subscription plans, etc.), but that aren't a real win for the business. So even a lot of bigger names in our industry could have made better time if they'd used a boilerplate to handle all the non-business-critical stuff.

    Hi Preet, this sounds like a nice idea. Happy to help in any way I can. You can shoot me an email and we can set up a call to chat about how you can get your MVP moving.
