This is a really brilliant project, and I love that it's open source! I'm certain that for tutoring, this is a much-needed self-hosting option! When it comes to schools, I'd be curious to know how it works in practice. Having supported a lot of schools in the past year using Coding Rooms with integrated Daily.co for remote learning, I have to say that the biggest challenges have always been related to just getting video to "work" with students. From the instructor's perspective, it's just so challenging to get 30 K-12 students on the same page with audio, video, input devices, and UIs -- not to mention stuff like just getting everyone signed in or using the right link. A system (perhaps hardware-included/based) that could do that would be ground-breaking for remote learning in my opinion. This is also the reason, in addition to school policies in some cases, that instructors feel like they have to stick with what they know in situations like this.

It's also worth noting that we started by integrating Jitsi, then BigBlueButton, and finally settled with Daily.co because stability, UIs, and support were such huge issues for us with the other solutions. While Daily.co doesn't do everything perfectly, I have to say their coverage of edge cases and support has been a lifesaver scaling our product for schools.

Daily.co looks easier to use than Jitsi, however I can't justify paying based on minutes when there is no "real" resource consumed

Thanks for the kind words. Our goal is to asymptotically approach doing everything perfectly, and we really value feedback. So please let us know where we can improve and what you'd like us to add. Relatedly, sometimes we have sample code for features that aren't nicely abstracted into APIs, or which we haven't documented yet/well. So don't hesitate to ping us.
