An accountless realtime relay for ephemeral rooms, peer messaging, RPC calls, and peer-to-peer audio or video.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-13 issue.

Field notes

Rooms are created from arbitrary namespaces and disappear when everyone leaves, with no message history retained according to the page. Connections receive readable peer slugs and can address one another directly or invoke advertised actions, such as an example calculator that returns 42 from 20 and 22. The homepage also exposes a WebSocket URL pattern, an npm CLI command, and a browser-and-laptop demo using the relay.
