There is some duplication of effort but sometimes progress happens via rewrites and that might actually be a faster way to an 8/10 system than direct collaboration?

Also I think it’s interesting to see how this builds on Google’s work (the googcc algorithm). Which of course builds on previous open source work. The underlying technical collaboration happens even with quite different organizational goals and different codebases.

Author here.

All of these things are built around WebRTC to some degree, which was built on previous open source work and standards. We all benefit from many contributions over many years.
