I didn't see a thread for this and not sure if it should be in the /dpt/ or /sqt/ threads as I don't frequent this board often but I have some questions regarding VoIP services. With all the recent shit Firefox and other services not being privacy friendly (i.e. Chrome, Discord, literally any other major application), what would it take to create/program a VoIP application? I know there are already others that are more privacy focused such as Mumble and Tox (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) but I'd be interested in creating my own. Primarily one that is privacy focused with encryption but with similar functionality to discord but without the spyware. Is there a specific language I should use to do so? I should mention I don't really have any programming experience but I have always wanted to learn and now that I'm unemployed I definitely have time. I know it would be difficult to do so, but I've got nothing better to do currently. Apologies if this belongs elsewhere.

Search for "How to build a web application using WebRTC". This is probably the fastest path for you from zero to finished product. Keep in mind that you will be fighting an extremely steep uphill battle by learning how to program while trying to develop a non-beginner application with multiple facets.
I never asked how to code as anyone can read up on it. Merely what coding language would be best. I also never said I wanted to compete with huge companies to do this, just that I'd be interested in creating a voip application. Maybe I should've clarified that for you so you wouldn't read so much into it.

Oh yeah I meant to call this guy a faggot which is why I replied to him in this post
matrix does this and is open source, read their source code if you're curious. anyway I'm not sure if it can really ever take off, I have some barely tech literate friends (ie. slightly above pc gamer) and I can't convince them to switch despite not using any discord specific features.
Use mumble. Or if you want something discord-like, there's matrix/synapse/riot.im
Just believe in yourself! You can do it user you just have to stay with it until you get bored and hit your first wall and quit.
Honestly before you choose a programming language shouldn't you be thinking of a name and logo? What color will it be??
Their voice chat is not too robust, certainly not in comparison to Discord. I host a matrix server for my friends but we only use it for texting. I host a teamspeak server for voice chat and for playing games with remote friends. It's far lighter than discord and very easy to set up. Matrix is slightly more complicated to set up (properly)
You should search for what I said as well. It can be done in a few hours or less by someone experienced with web programming. It is very simple to implement WebRTC on a website.
