I'm working on the next big thing :). It is a WebRTC application, and i'm planning to use vLine.

The thing is I have written vLine about 3 emails to two different adresses ( hello@vline.com and support@vline.com ) to no answer, zero, none, they won't respond and I really need their answers so I can move on integrating with them or install my own TURN/STUN servers and do everything from scratch.

It has been about a week since my first email so I figured I would ask the enlightened HN community instead.

Here is what I need to know and have been asking to vLine:

• I need support for screen sharing and I was looking at https://vline.com/developer/docs/vline.js/vline.MediaConstraints and only see video and audio, is there a way to specify “screen”? I would expect it since it is already a functionality of webrtc...

• Any tips on how should I go about implementing one-to-many-one-way broadcasting?

• Also, about the authentication, what if my service doesn’t require authentication to be able to see streams (we do have limitations on how many users are able to see at one point, but no authentication)? Should I just fake an authToken for anybody and send it in the authentication payload?

Thanks!!!

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Maybe throw some spotify playlists here?

I'm a web developer and UI/UX "adventurer". I understand the idea behind the HN's UI is simplicity and that's cool, but, sometimes too simple is too simple. I wake up every morning to HN and my eyes hurt. Let me just mention a few things I notice so you see what I mean:

1. Leverage Mobile: See HN in your mobile, can you read it to me please?

2. Padding: Look at the numbers to the left (numbers inside <td> tags, are you using a for loop? hehe), can you see they are 0 pixels from the side of the page, why? Are those numbers needed anyway? I find it difficult to read and click the article I want to read, the posts are too close!

3. With more padding and a bigger font everything should get much better to read and process, not just for mobile...

4. The colors seem old-fashion and not in a good way if you ask me but if that's the branding that's fine, just do it right. For instance, look at the top-menu, open up your browser's inspector and change the color to white, much better ah? The "active" can be something else.

5. I would underline the article links on hover, it makes it easy to see what you are clicking.

6. The gamification controls are weird. Example: 126 points by user 1 hour ago | 26 comments ... See how it looks like "user" gave 126 points to the article? What about: by user 1 hour ago | 126 points | 26 comments ?

7. Separation: Maybe enclose the articles in boxes of some kind or just throw a line between the articles, it is so close and compact...

8. Submission form: why not adding some optional WYSYWYG goodies? If the limit is 2000 characters why i have to hit submit to find that out?

9. Ah, TABLE seriously?

These are just some of my findings (2000 chars limit). I would recommend other kinds of ordering, ability to curate the listings somehow, etc, but for now let's focus in the UI/UX. I'm hereby offering my services as developer to make this happen, let me know!
