Manual

First Run

For first run, edit config.json for host and port which is the sobani-tracker
If you don't find any ways to get an instance, you could use the instance our provided below:

{
  "tracker": {
    "host": "34.80.41.119",
    "port": 3000
  }
}

About config.json

You can build and serve your instance of sobani-tracker from source code. For your configuration, set sobani-tracker's host and port in config.json, then run it.

How to use

By connected to the tracker server you have configurated, you will get a share id shown in the window. Copy and send the share id to your friends, you can have only one connect for now.
After you tell the share id with your friend, click Connect, then you will get the connection.
In the tray icon (status bar icon on macOS), right click and select your input (if you want to send your voice), or output (if you want to listen to your friend's audio). You can select both.

Don't worry, we won't collect any data you are transferring, we only have your data on sobani-tracker instance to store your IP and NAT port (this project is based on UDP socket), which we don't have your real port.

If you want to suspend your session with your friends, click Disconnect then the session will close.
If you want to change your share id, restart the application is totally fine.

Known Issue

By using PortAudio, when you use Window as your platform, you may see more selection on Audio Out menu, try to use the ones on the top (they usually looks like glitched names, always have some words left to nowhere)
By building this application through the UDP protocol, there might be some strange bugs.
