?? Week 9, Day 1: Project Kickoff - Laying the Foundation for Ovid

Hello Everyone,

Today, I embarked on an exciting new journey by starting my latest project, Ovid – a video call app designed to provide seamless communication with advanced features like scheduling, adding participants, and quality streaming. My initial plan was to make a simple video call platform that didn’t require sign-ups, but I decided to enhance it further by incorporating robust features for a more complete experience.

I expect to rely on third-party libraries to optimise the functionality and ensure a smooth user experience. I spent time brainstorming and detailing the core functionalities for this project, which will be developed using the Next.js tech stack. I’m excited about the journey ahead!

Additionally, I realized that to achieve optimal performance, I’d likely need to leverage third-party libraries and tools. This decision will streamline the development process while maintaining high standards for video quality and reliability. I've already started researching potential integrations, such as WebRTC for real-time communication and video handling, ensuring Ovid delivers a seamless video calling experience.
