I also tried to hack together WebRTC headlessly a while ago actually! I looked at GStreamer and Kurento, but ended up using Janus instead. Anyway, turns out you can use Xvfb, essentially a "fake screen", to headlessly run GUI programs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb , which is what we're doing with Firefox.

Firefox is one of those projects that just keeps on giving, and it's all thanks to the hard work put in by all the contributors. It's easy to forget that sometimes. We use Firefox headlessly to render videos at https://www.musicvideodispenser.com , a task that certainly wasn't the initial intended use-case for that browser, but it still works, and we have the Firefox team to thank for that!

We've gone full circle! This thing started as a stand-alone HTML page for dweets with ability to embed the code in the URL: http://arkt.is/t (hover to show editor). GitHub: https://github.com/sigvef/arktis-tweet-demo . Here it is with the same dweet embedded: http://arkt.is/t/Yy53aWR0aHw9MDtmb3Iobj0yMDA7bi09MS82NDt4LmZ... .

Incidentally, this is where the "dwitter" name came from: "demos" as in the demoscene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene) and twitter.

One trick you learn as a dweeter is to write all for-loops as "fr" instead of "for", and then only adding the last "o" when you feel confident that the loop won't accidentally go on forever!

The source is on GitHub: https://github.com/lionleaf/dwitter \o/

This makes it harder to tell at a glance whether I'm on github.com or GitHub Enterprise.

We added a YouTube video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv0-D6hVaU8

Maybe we can kickstart a physical kiosk machine? I heard they're all the rage nowadays [0].

We looked at using ffmpeg.js too since we wanted faster-than-real-time and constant frame rate rendering. It's too slow though, so we went with MediaRecorder instead. Thanks for the suggestion on the export screen!

That's a cool monetization model. More effects are coming up for sure, and we would definitely like to see what sorts of awesome effects the community can come up with!

We do something similar at work. Here's two of the monthly side projects we've come up with this fall: https://www.zombocam.com https://www.musicvideodispenser.com

Here is how it was made: http://m.imgur.com/t0rxWqH

and it works with Zombocam too, nice! https://www.zombocam.com

One issue is that laptop cameras still mostly suck compared to the high quality smartphone cameras that we have grown accustomed to. Video conferencing vendors can either fix that by offering fancy external cameras, which always ends up being expensive, or using some sort of software processing to improve the video quality. (Shameless plug: our browser extension Zombocam kinda does the latter https://www.zombocam.com/ )

There seems be a race condition with Zombocam on Google Hangouts, give it a couple of refreshes and it might show up!

In a perfect world, everything is generated from ASCII diagram sources: https://github.com/sigvef/sigvehtml .

Shameless plug: Zombocam. It adds filters and effects to any webcam stream on any page! We just launched: https://www.zombocam.com

Anything is possible with Zombocam :P

Thanks Mozilla! Lots of great work being done, and it can be easy to take it for granted at times. This release makes me particularly happy because if fixes a WebRTC/MediaStream bug that I've been wrestling with on my current project ( https://www.zombocam.com ) for a few weeks. So thank you Firefox team!

Also a Ninjadever. Daeken's blog post was one of the inspirations that led us to implementing this in our toolchain. p01's Matraka [1] was another. The PNG trick is pretty common in the js scene nowadays, with packing tools such as JsExe [2] readily available.

You can even cleverly use the image data as a free compressed binary data store, useful for e.g. reducing file size of single-file demos: http://demoseen.com/blog/2011-08-31_Superpacking_JS_Demos.ht...

What are the differences between this and Samsung's Project Beyond camera? http://thinktankteam.info/beyond_m/

Elastomania! There is still an active community of players playing an online-enabled mod of this 15+ year old game over at http://www.elmaonline.net -- come say hi :D

Funny, I made something similar that replaces people on Google Analytics with stock photos from unsplash: https://github.com/sigvef/analytics-unsplash .

That's interesting, I haven't considered certificates at all. Where are you getting these errors? My intention was to serve pdftotext.org strictly over plain old http. Are you using HTTPS Everywhere or similar?

I made this to practice running microsites on the cheap, with all that it entails (SEO, analytics, testing, etc). All the business logic is done client-side, so that the page can be hosted for free using GitHub pages. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Iframes sort-of do this already.

This is the same approach we're using at Wikipendium[1] for math-heavy article editing - Markdown with inline LaTeX math segments edited in a CodeMirror editor. It's cool to see others tackling the same problems in similar ways.

We use Mathjax[2] for rendering LaTeX client side, but have run into some performance issues as the number of math segments increase on a single page. Paperman seems to be using something called MathQuill[3], has anyone here tried using it on large amounts of LaTeX math? KaTeX[4] is another possible alternative, and certainly the best I've tried in terms of performance, although it's still a little lacking in terms of symbol support.
