Really cool, but please work a bit on controls for smartphones. Holding a button pops up a browser's menu.

any webdevs out there, love to help?

So generally a quick way to prevent that sort of stuff from happening on mobile is to tack this CSS onto the elements in question (canvas, img, etc):

    touch-action: none;
    -ms-touch-action: none;
    user-select: none;

That should prevent any touch related actions and accidental user selection on devices.

See MDN for details on each:

This is really cool! I would have loved to implement such a low latency video feed for one my past projects. How did you do the video feed?
