Introducing HumbleNet: a cross-platform networking library that works in the browser
Announcing the release of HumbleNet, a project initiated at Humble Bundle in 2015 to port peer-to-peer multiplayer games, originally to asm.js and now to WebAssembly. The current open source version of the library exposes a simple peer-to-peer API that allows for basic peer discovery and the ability to easily send data (via WebRTC) to other peers. Today, you can build a game that runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, while using any web browser — and they can all communicate in real-time via WebRTC.
