Thanks for your kind words! I wrote this app in approximately 6 hours using Node.JS while at NodeConf. I do plan to improve upon it and welcome pull requests. The code is available at https://github.com/twelephone/rtcroulette

"Almost at feature parity" is kind of an outrageous claim... I just gave it a try with a friend, and it was glitchy, our video was stretched out (on both ends), there's a big "More" button that does nothing, no file transfers, no screen sharing, not sure if conference calls are even supported, etc. If only there were an open-source private version of Google Hangouts.

Yes, checkout http://twelephone.com from the same guys who wrote RTC Roulette. It's WebRTC-powered skype clone which attaches to Twitter for the user directory.

nice.
a bit offtopic:
I am searching for a WebRTC server stack for Node.js or PHP (libevent). I would like to host the STUN, ICE handling on my own server.
The only project I found that supports recent WebRTC API changes is https://github.com/priologic/easyrtc . Has someone tried it on a production environment, are there maybe better alternatives?

Phono says "Sign Up for an API Key". It's a service, they provide just an SDK.
I am searching for open source alternatives that allow me to install the whole WebRTC server software part on my own server. (for Node.js or PHP + libevent)

I have never used it but I've seen it demoed at the most recent London Node.js User Group meeting and it was pretty impressive: https://github.com/malditogeek/vmux

Yea, I'm stretching the remote video element. We could use a designer's help to pretty this app up. The code is on GitHub at https://github.com/twelephone/rtcroulette
Also, right now it's probably 90% HN users, that's a very interesting crowd to meet randomly.
We recently added WebRTC to echoplexus https://chat.echoplex.us/ https://github.com/qq99/echoplexus
Source codes: https://github.com/fycth/webrtcexample
(Full disclosure: I used to work for Voxeo Labs)
EDIT: Yeah it works, just keep pressing "roulette".
FEATURE REQUEST: I would really like a mic testing function. I can't tell if it's working or not.
That was my only successful attempt. Now I keep trying but the call doesn't go through.
Google and Mozilla are pushing the WebRTC: http://www.webrtc.org/
A directory
And
Signaling
Without those things it's hard to compete with Skype or the PSTN.
