Description
Pondchat is a quiet video pond for small groups. Create a room, share a pondchat.com link, and guests join when they're ready — no signup, no downloads, no ringing. Media travels peer-to-peer over WebRTC; the server only relays signaling. Chat is AES-GCM encrypted in the browser and wiped when the pond empties. Also in Telegram and as a Chrome side panel.

Could you build this?
Yes Mesh WebRTC for small groups can be implemented using standard browser APIs with a lightweight Cloudflare Worker/Durable Object as the signaling server, paired with Web Crypto for client-side encryption.
