Is this project abandoned?

I don't see any updates to commits since 2022, has this moved to another repo or been forked somewhere else for main development?

I just got here from this list of abandoned Mozilla projects, so at least someone at Mozilla considers it abandoned.
Edit: It looks like there's more context in other issues like this one.

Mozilla stopped supporting it and handed control to oskarkrawczyk and their jsfiddle project. You can see it in action using the base integration that is part of jsfiddle.

TogetherJs would be best served by containerizing it so it was easy to deploy a relay hub.

I don't see togetherjs on jsfiddle. and anything related to it doesn't work because it relies on hub.togetherjs.com

Is anyone aware of alternatives that are well maintained?

Has anyone found a good alternative?

Hi,
Just a heads-up: the original TogetherJS hub server is currently down. I’ve deployed my own on Render (free tier), and it works fine—but you’ll need to adjust server.js (from the hub folder) a bit to get it running if you wanna deploy for public project: change the process.env.HOST || '127.0.0.1'; into process.env.HOST || '0.0.0.0';

The only outdated tool here is the voice chat feature. You gotta manually create the grunt package and make it public (on GitHub or somewhere else). After creating it, go to togetherjs/togetherjsPackage.js and change the element.src = URL.createObject... of the function attachMedia into element.srcObject = media. In the function startStreaming, change the $video[0].src = URL.createObject... into $video[0].srcObject = stream. Basically, we replace all the URL.createObject and replace the src into srcObject. Optionally, the makePeerConnection only points to STUN server. Sometimes in school networks the server doesn't work so we add TURN server (ideally your own). But, if you wanna deploy locally, you wouldn't need it. Here's the free version of TURN server:
function makePeerConnection() {
const config = {
iceServers: [
{ urls: "stun:stun.l.google.com:19302" },
{
urls: "turn:openrelay.metered.ca:80",
username: "openrelayproject",
credential: "openrelayproject"
}
]
};

const constraints = {
optional: [{ DtlsSrtpKeyAgreement: true }]
};

if (window.RTCPeerConnection) {
return new RTCPeerConnection(config, constraints);
}

// For legacy browsers, fallback (rarely needed now)
if (window.webkitRTCPeerConnection) {
return new webkitRTCPeerConnection(config, constraints);
}
if (window.mozRTCPeerConnection) {
return new mozRTCPeerConnection(config, constraints);
}

throw new Error("No RTCPeerConnection support in this browser.");
}
Final step to make the voice chat work: set the variable of defaultHubBase (from togetherjs-min.js) to your own hub server. Also, set baseUrl variable into your public togetherjs packages.

Has anyone found a good alternative?
