DirectCall

DirectCall was a browser-based video calling project built for instant communication with no installs, no signup, and no setup.

It used WebRTC peer-to-peer connections to make calling as simple as sharing a link. The product worked technically, but long-term reliability became inconsistent in some regions because of network-level restrictions.

DirectCall is now discontinued. You can read the full post-mortem here: Why I Shut Down DirectCall.
