What is the crowd's opinion of JumpChat?

From 3.5 billion comments

I was reading the Privacy Policy at https://jumpch.at/privacy/

What do you mean by the following under Cookies?
> You are required to log-in to your JUMPCHAT application site after a certain period of time has elapsed to protect you against others accidentally accessing your account contents.

Thank you.

Please excuse the wording. It sounds more nefarious than it really is. It's basically what the other redditors explained. I use a cookie for when you sign in. The cookie expires after a certain time. You'll be logged out when the cookie expires and will have to sign in again.

I'll reword that section in the privacy policy.

EDIT: I've updated the privacy policy

> After a certain period of time has elapsed, the cookie will expire and you are required to log-in to JUMPCHAT again to protect you against others accidentally accessing your account contents.

I use jumpchat. It's an online end to end encryption, open source, video chat and neither person has to install anything. Works on phones.

If you're a paranoid fuck like me, then you'll know Skype and Google Hangouts actually store parts of your video chat.

Been building this video chat site that could be used for telepresence. Would you mind trying it out for collaboration and see if there's anything that's lacking? I could try to build specific features that you might be missing.

I built a WebRTC video chat service (https://jumpch.at/) and I think the security is about as safe as SSL. Jitsi uses WebRTC also. I don't know about OTR or Redphone's protocol, but I think WebRTC that does P2P connections are pretty safe in general. Just my $0.02.

So the idea is to keep this running with super low overhead and never sell. Possibly community funded structure like NPR membership where you pay $5/year and get a vanity url like https://jumpch.at/DoctorMog as your video chat room.

Did you update it ?

Mine stopped working after an update, it said the same thing : to check my internet connection. I deleted everything, followed every step of every thread I found with google, re-installed it but I get exactly the same message. Everytime.

Now I use jumpchat, because there's nothing to install, but some people from work only use skype so I'm screwed.

Name / URL: JumpChat - https://jumpch.at/
Elevator Pitch: Simple anonymous video chat. Skype without accounts.
More details: Launched. Looking to pivot to a vertical or partner with someone that might need video services.
Are you looking for anything? Looking for feedback on the SDK. Javascript, iOS, and Android available.
Discount: Service is free so no discount. :(

Thanks for the response!

I started learning about WebRTC clients like https://jumpch.at, and I'm concerned that it depends on SSL (I generally try to avoid JS crypto and SSL crypto for important things, if possible). Admittedly, I haven't had a chance to look into the specifics of WebRTC yet, so I posted a more general question about SSL that I've been wondering for a while.

Most of my use cases are me (as a client, not a host) writing a script sending very sensitive data to a REST API over https. In this case, I pin the API's certificate in my script. If there's a change to the cert, and the website wasn't nice enough to have a gpg key and publish a signed message clearly indicating the changed cert, including the new cert, then my general approach would be to TOFU grab the cert from many VPN services/endpoints geographically distributed, ensure they all match, and then pin the new cert.

But, ignoring having to support users (again, I'm only the client), are there any non-cert-distribution-related vulnerabilities to SSL?

Name: JumpChat

Elevator Pitch: Video chat like skype or facetime without accounts

Stage: Public beta

Seeking: Feedback, users, partnerships, or promotions

Thanks

Neo looks like a good start but is really primitive. Not having ORM, migrations, and session management is really a deal breaker for me. I understand you can bolt those things on afterwards, but I feel like that's the domain of the framework to handle.

I've been thinking of moving JumpChat to go and I've been playing around with a lot of go web frameworks. I think beego is by far the best and the performance is pretty good too. Check it out if you haven't played around with it. It's really similar to RoR and Django.

Anyway, just my $0.02.

Not open source yet according to the guy who made it, but within the next couple of months. (paraphrasing here) (webrtc is open source as far as I know)
