Show HN: Host a site, content, or stream from a browser tab, served over WebRTC

A developer released fmrl, an open-source project that hosts a website, content or stream from an open browser tab and serves it over WebRTC connections, falling back to a Cloudflare TURN server when WebRTC is unavailable. The project, posted to Hacker News as a Show HN with 1 point and 0 comments, is published at fmrl.live with source code on GitLab at gitlab.com/croatoa/fmrl. The developer said the aim is autonomy rather than privacy and that this was their first time using AI in coding, specifically LLM Claude Code.

Site URL: https://fmrl.live https://fmrl.live Repository URL: https://gitlab.com/croatoa/fmrl https://gitlab.com/croatoa/fmrl This project allows you to host a website, content, and streaming from an open browser window. It gets served over WebRTC connections or a Cloudfare turn server if that's not available . This is just a start. Any suggestions or feedback to improve usability, feature requests, etc is super welcome. This is a project I've had in mind for a while. I wanted to participate in building for a decentralized web, so I thought it would be cool if people could run a social network kind of page from their own machine, and allow them to diffuse content over a peer to peer net, independent of the typical social media giants. While this iteration is not quite that, it's a start. While the UI probably makes this super obvious, this is the first time I've used AI in coding LLM, Claude Code . It really is some impressive machinery. The goal isn't privacy, but rather autonomy, more or less. I know there are real limitations like a host user closing their browser but I feel like the idea is at least slightly novel probably because its a mediocre idea lol .. but it'll be interesting to see how it evolves. If you made it this far, thanks for the read. Hope you have a pleasant day.
