I had literally the same idea. I had actually started researching webrtc. the tech looked a little fragile so I decided not to go forward. I hope you can work out your kinks and get it running, because I would be interested in giving it a go. It's like trying out my idea without putting in any of the work!

Webrtc is growing and improving everyday! We are aware of the current issue. Will resolve and update this comment.

Out of interest how would you have done your idea differently?

I felt like webrtc is pretty much the only option as a desktop client. I hope you get it fixed soon. Also is your code OSS?

It is fixed for desktop. Mobile may face issues due to network difference but a new version for mobile is a possibility if debates come through :)

It is not OSS yet. May go OSS later though.

I'm sorry to hear it's closed source. Open sourcing it could go a long way to helping get the word out. I'll check it out.
