<script src="https://unpkg.com/p2p-lobby/umd/bundle.js"></script>

<!-- Production Build ~1.3MB :'( -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/p2p-lobby/umd/bundle.min.js"></script>

Everything will be exposed under the global variable p2p.

To be fixed

• No guarentee that all the peers are ready once the host ready's up
  • Peers may still be introducing themselves to one another.
• When a peer that is waiting in node's room leaves
  • node.peers won't have access the peer's name
  • Since node.allPeers still has the name, but peer is no longer on node.allRooms.get(LOBBY)
  • Add a way to grab peers in current room!
• Safe Ready Up
  • Ensure all the hashes are good when everyone ready's up and wait 2 poll interval cycles if not

Roadmap

• Reduce bundled file size
  • Remove redundant deps
  • Build for multiple targets
  • Use as a libp2p package instead of ipfs wrapper
  • Use Proto instead of msgpack.
  • Upgrade to a smaller async emitter
  • Use UInt8Array over Buffers
• joinPeer should require confirmation from them host
• use a namespace instead of an instance since it should be a singleton tbh

Publishing
