Hey HN, co-founder of room.sh here, happy to answer any questions.

We started out building online tools for education but soon began using them to have our own meetings. Behind the scenes, things are powered by a CRDT (specifically, https://github.com/y-js/yjs) and we're using Janus as a WebRTC SFU.

It's not peer to peer, but this brings some advantages (simplicity, more reliable connections, better support for large rooms) and a few disadvantages (bandwidth usage, among others). We're still in beta and working on new features and bug fixes so any feedback is greatly appreciated!

That's cool. How many people can be present simultaneously in the meeting at most?

At the moment, it's limited to 8 with AV. Without AV though, we've tested past a few hundred with no problems.

We've got a pretty long pipeline of features, one of them includes a better setup for things like webinars, with one presenter and a large number of consumers.

Looks great! Just don't add too much bloat.
